Comp 313 Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

Loosely based on the MIT text book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs", this course examines from first principles the nature of computer programs. Students will investigate different paradigms for the construction and evaluation of computer programs, higher order programming, the effect of statefulness in programming and data driven programming. A parallel thread, not based on the SICP book, introduces the super simple Giuseppe language to show that being functional is enough to overcome all obstacles.
