CS2620 Student Project
Total: 20%


Deadlines

  1. Preliminary Report, Monday, October 24, 2022
  2. Class Presentations is cancelled. Starting with Monday, November 14, 2022 you can submit a Powerpoint/ PDF presentation.
  3. Written Report on Wednesday, November 30, 2022

Objective

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.


The project


You can choose any programming language, except: FORTRAN, Cobol, Pascal, C, C++,C#, Java, Javascript, Ada,Prolog, Scheme, Common Lisp, php, perl, python, bash/sh, csh, dash, i.e, scripting languages related to CS2820,CS1910--CS2920, or other ones presented in this course (CS2620). A list to choose from is provided here.
