  2. Personnel • Professor: David Padua3318 Digital Computer Lab; phone: 333-4223office hours: 9:15-10:00 TuTh. • Assistant: Sheila Clarksd-clark@cs.uiuc.edu3316 Digital Computer Lab; phone: 244-0056 Introduction

  3. Personnel (Cont.) Introduction

  4. Text • Required: • Programming Language Pragmatics • by Michael Scott • Morgan Kaufmann • (Highly) Recommended: • Compilers. Principles, Techniques, and Tools (a.k.a. “The Dragon Book”) By Alfred Aho, Ravi Sethi, Jeffrey Ullman Addison Wesley • Not all material will be in the textbooks. Transparencies complement the textbook. Introduction

  5. Web Page • The class web site is at:http://polaris.cs.uiuc.edu/~padua/cs321 • You are expected to check the web site frequently. Contents include: • important announcements; • these PowerPoint slides in pdf format; • reading assignments; • links to helpful material; • assignments; and • Solutions to exercises; • Grades will be e-mailed Introduction

  6. Prerequisites • CS 225 -- Data Structures -- essential. • CS 231 or CS 232 or ECE 290 or ECE 291 -- architecture and assembly language programming -- essential. • By implication, CS 125 -- introductory experience with Java or C++. Knowledge of merely C or Pascal is somewhat inadequate; knowledge of merely Basic or VB is woefully inadequate. • By implication, CS 173 -- discrete mathematics -- absolutely essential. Introduction

  7. Grading • There will be one midterm exam, 5 MPs and two problem sets. • Compiler (first three/four) MPs should be written in C++. • Percentages: midterm (Thursday, March 1): 25% final exam: 40% assignments: 35% Introduction

  8. Grading • You are expected to do your own work. • Graduate students and undergraduate students will be graded on separate scales. • 1-unit graduate students will do a (substantial) extra project [25% of the final grade]. Details of the project will be available on March 6. Introduction

  9. Goals of CS321 • To understand programming language implementation: • Compilers • Interpreters • Run-time systems • To gain a deeper understanding of the object-oriented, functional, and logic programming paradigms. Introduction

  10. Goals of CS321 • To understand better those languages that you’ve been using. • To increase your “vocabulary” of programming constructs. • To help you to write better programs. • To allow you to choose appropriate programming languages. • To ease your learning of new programming languages. • To familiarize you with design issues for programming languages.
