Course project proposals

Please email me as soon as possible a description of what you are planning for your final course project program (Due Friday, March 16, except for those graduating this quarter). Your description could be as detailed as you like, but it should be at least a paragraph or two, with a high-level description of the problem that the program addresses, and perhaps a sketch of how the solution is going to work.

Homework 6

I've added a link to Homework 6 on the class web page. The main part of the homework involves modifying the lexer and parser given in ex5_7_2b.sml.

Have fun!

Midterm reminder, homework solutions

Remember that the second one-hour, in class midterm exam will be given next Tuesday, Feb 27, at the beginning of class. This will be an open book, open notes exam. It will cover mainly material since the first exam, but also some critical topics from earlier (typechecking!).

I've updated the class web page with the code for the lexer and parser for Exercise 5.7.2 (Homework 3), and the code for the tic-tac-toe program (Homework 4). I'll post Homework 6 (due Feb 27) tomorrow.

Don't forget to email me a note on your proposed final programming project (Due Friday, March 16).

Homework assignment 4

I've put up homework assignment 4 on the class web page. This one is a complete change of pace, being a small programming project to write a tic-tac-toe playing program. Feel free to ask questions, solicit hints, etc. in the comments to this post.

Midterm exam reminder

We will have an in-class, one hour midterm exam tomorrow, Feb 6. There will be a second in-class midterm on Feb 27. The final programming project will be due on Friday, March 16, the last day of finals week.

The final class will be Tuesday, March 6.

Homework 3 posted

I've posted homework assignment 3 on the class web page. This contains exercises from Chapter 5 and is due next Tuesday (2/6/07). I've also added a link to the bool.sml example developed in class last Tuesday, and a link at the bottom the PDF file for Chet Murthy's slides for his invited talk "Advanced Programming Languages in the Enterprise Datacenter" at POPL 07 in January.
