• CSC 345: Programming Language Concepts/Paradigms

  3.00 Credits

  West Chester University of Pennsylvania

  
  An examination of the conceptual underpinning of programming languages and of the paradigms into which they fall. Topics will be drawn from those comprising the field of programming language such as abstraction, bindings, concurrency, design, encapsulation, history, representation, storage, and types. Programming projects will focus on languages within the functional, declarative, and object-oriented paradigms such as Common Lisp, ML, Prolog, and CLOS rather than the familiar imperative paradigm.
