PRINCIPLES of PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

AIM

The objective of this course is to study the properties of programming languages in general, learn syntax and semantics of programming languages, learn basic constructs that are common to all languages, examine some of these constructs and concepts for specific languages, introduce the main paradigms of computation, languages representative of these paradigms, techniques of implementing various programming language constructs, as well as basic concepts relating to the specification of programming languages.
