The teaching is organized as follows:

Learning outcomes

The course provide specific capabilities in the context of programming languages. In particular, it provides the necessary knowledge for operating in design, development and maintenance of software systems, starting form the right choice of the programming language dependent on the specific tasks and features of what should be developed.

At the end of the course, the student will have to show:
to know and to be able to study and understand new programming languages;
to be able to apply the acquired capabilities and knowledge for choosing the programming language depending on what he/she has to develop;
to be able to develop necessary expertise for affording the following studies with a sufficient degree of autonomy.

Program

------------------------
MM: Teoria
------------------------
Virtual machines: interpreters and compilers. Syntactical descriptions of programming languages: context free grammars. Structured operational semantics. Memory management: scoping rules, functions, procedures, parameter passing, stack of activation records, heap. Control: structuring of statements, abstraction, exceptions. Data and types: data types, base types, structured types, type systems, type inference and polymorphism. Examples of programming paradigms.
------------------------
MM: Laboratorio
------------------------
Introduction of tools for making exercise on the techniques of interpretation of programming languages.

Examination Methods

------------------------
MM: Teoria
------------------------
Written exam (with mandatory oral exam for evaluations greater than 26/30). The task of the written exam consists in verifying the comprehension of course contents and the capability to reprocessing these contents, also in the resolution of exercises on formal semantics of programming languages. The task of the oral exam is that of verify an advanced comprehension of the course contents allowing a critic analysis and a reprocessing of the studied notions and results. This comprehension may be verified also by asking theorems and proofs. It will be evaluated the possibility of integrating the written evaluation with a project to agree with the professor and which can be made in groups of maximal two elements.
