● Good knowledge of at least one programming language (C++, Java, Prerequisites Python, etc.) for the course ● Experience in writing programs (larger than simple toy programs) ● Knowledge of basic computer science terms (recursion, algorithms, functions, parameters, objects, inheritance, modularity) 5
● Programming paradigms: Imperative, Functional, Logic, (Script) Some topics ● General syntax and semantics of languages of the course ● Phases of program compilation and interpretation ● Variable lifetimes, binding and memory management ● Typing and type systems, type inference ● Subprograms and parameter passing mechanisms ● Generic programming, exception handling,... ● Understanding WHY? ● Understanding language design compromises 6

● Course has a Plussa area "TIE-20306 Principles of Programming Languages" Course – Plussa contains links to all relevant information – Important news and notices are sent through POP Plussa & – Video recordings of lectures (Echo360 service) link are Mattermost found in Plussa (directs through Moodle) – Submission of lecture essays, exercises, and programming assignments are done in Plussa ● For discussion, we have a Mattermost channel in the Tuni Students&Staff team – https://mattermost.tut.fi/studentsetstaff/channels/tie-20306 -popl (links also on web page) – If this is your first time, register your @...tuni.fi email address with invitation link given on the web page – Any course related peer discussion welcome! – Course staff participates, if/when we have time 10
● Learning easier if you know what the topic is about & what there is to learn Lecture ● Each week (on Wednesday/Thursday) a essays short essay topic is given, based on next week's lectures ● Idea is to familiarize yourself on the subject, find out questions / difficult parts. Helps lecture discussion. ● Each essay gives you 1 point = not compulsory, but affects the grade ● Submitted to Plussa 11
● Lecture attendance gives you 1 point ● Lectures are also recorded, but no points Lecture are given for that (no discussion) attendance ● You can compensate for not attending by writing extended lecture essays 12
● If you cannot attend lectures, you can compensate by writing extended lecture Extended essays lecture essay ● Extended essays are submitted after respective lecture and are considerably longer ● Regular essays: familiarize yourself with the topic ● Extended essays: prove what you have learned about the topic ● Extended essay gives 3 points, but max. each week for essay+attendance+extended essay = 3 13

You choose what's best for you. 15
● This year done as an individual projects ● Topic: implementing a simple Programming interpreter/compiler for a simple project "programming" language (emphasis on simple) ● Implemented in Python (using PLY tool) ● Minimum requirements to pass, possibility to gain more points with more functionality ● Done in 4 phases, mostly during period 2 16
● 50 % : Grade from the exam ( grade must be at least 1 ) Grading ● 25 % : Grade from the programming assignment: ( grade must be at least 1 ) ● 25 % : Grade from weekly homework + participation in weekly exercises & lectures + writing lecture essays ( grade must be at least 1 ) 17
