About Programming Language Concepts

Language behavior can obscure performance and correctness problems. Examine how programs are parsed, checked, and executed to make informed implementation choices.

Programming Language Concepts Course Objectives

  • Trace a program from source to execution.
  • Compare type and memory models.
  • Identify concurrency risks in a small program.

Pre-requisites

  • Experience writing programs in one language.
  • Familiarity with functions and data structures.

Lab Setup

  • Computer with a code editor and a familiar language runtime.
  • Local examples for inspecting parsing and concurrent execution.

Detailed Course Outline

Proposed modules

Module 1: From source to runtime

  • Compilation and interpretation
  • Parsing
  • Type systems
  • Runtime systems

Practical outcome: Trace a simple expression through parsing and execution.

Module 2: Execution semantics

  • Memory models
  • Concurrency
  • Programming language paradigms

Practical outcome: Compare program behavior across execution models.

Practical exercise

  • Build a small expression evaluator and document its type and memory assumptions.
