Resources page:	Concepts of Modern Programming Languages

The course shows interesting and advanced concepts of modern programming languages and demonstrates their application together with real practical exercises. Furthermore, students have an opportunity to play with languages. The course is intended for master student programs, already having experience with software development (Java/C++/C#). It is however open to other students with deep interest in programming.

Requirements

To get credits students are required to submit correct solutions of 5 from 7 homeworks which will be announced during each lesson. The submission of homeworks has to be done via lecture's Grupik in SIS where the results will be also provided.

News

The first lecture will take place on Wednesday 5.10.2011 at 14:00 in S6. PLEASE, bring your own laptops if it is possible!
