The project requires an analysis of a programming language by examining its design with respect to its dominant language features, its programming algorithms, and its natural application areas. The project provides an excellent opportunity to explore new programming environments and programming paradigms through object-oriented, functional, logic, or concurrent programming.
You can choose any programming language, except: FORTRAN, Cobol, Pascal, C, C++,C#, Java, Javascript, Ada, Prolog, Scheme, Common Lisp, php, perl, python (or other ones presented in the course).
Due date February 14(PS) Due date February 14(PDF) Submit (1, 2018), outlining your project plan. In the opening paragraph, discuss your project objectives. Review three programming languages that appeal to you and briefly describe why each language is interesting for you.
In your final paragraph, state your language preference and what do you wish to learn by studying this language.
Due date April 4(PS) Due date April 4(PDF) Due date April 4 (0, 2018), discussing the philosophy of the programming language that you have chosen (clarity and organization of the material are 15 marks).
A ten to fifteen minute classroom presentation highlighting the design features and the application development for your programming languages is required. (10 marks)
Prepare a one-page summary for distributions to classmates.(5 marks)
Important notes: If more than one student chooses the same language, then your oral presentations should be coordinated to avoid duplications. These presentations will be scheduled for the same day. Your written report and summary page are done individually. No more than two students will be permitted to choose a given language.
