Programming languages provide the abstractions, organizing principles, and control structures that programmers use to write good programs. In this course we study the concepts that appear in programming languages, issues and trade-offs that arise in their design, and the way that language design affects program development.

Topics

• Functions and Foundations
• Procedures, Types, Memory Management, and Control
• Modularity, Abstraction, and Object-Oriented Programming
• Concurrency and Logic Programming
