We will blindly, mindlessly, obsessively, relentlessly follow Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation (PLAI).

Lecture Schedule

We don't publish a day-by-day lecture schedule. If a class runs over, or a presentation goes poorly and needs revisiting, wouldn't you rather we took our time to do it right rather than slave away according some pre-defined schedule?

Assignments

The assignment schedule will be posted on the assignments page. The assigment schedule is on-line, though it may change slightly over the first week of the semester. Read more...
