2015-03-03 Lab4 is up.
2015-02-17 Lab3 is up. Note that you have to submit something for the first deadline in order to resubmit to the final deadline.
2015-02-16 Change in schedule: "Hands-on with lab 3" shifted to Feb 24. Deadlines of labs 3 and 4 and final deadline have been shifted back to accommodate for the extra week in LP3.
2015-02-10 Lab2 now has the correct test program to compile under ghc-7.6 and up. Also, it has seen minor modifications in the expression grammar. (However, they are neutral wrt. the testsuite. If you already started with the 2014 grammar, you can choose to stick with it.)
2015-01-19 Lab1 is up. To submit, first register at Fire.
2015-01-13 First version of this page - mostly a copy of the 2014 material. Updates forthcoming soon.
All lectures are in HA2.
Material: plt = course book, dragon = Dragon book. Slides follow closely the plt book.

The official course schema is in Time Edit.
The aim of the course is to give understanding of how programming languages are designed, documented, and implemented. The course covers the basic techniques and tools needed to write interpreters, and gives a summary introduction to compilation as well. Those who have passed the course should be able to

Times:
The lab rooms and supervision are available from Tuesday 20 January till 10 March.
Attendance in these classes is optional. Normally, each student should attend at most one supervised laboration time each week. Since attendance is not compulsory, there may be room for more times. But, if there is lack of room, those who attend their first supervision of the week have priority to get a place and supervisor help.
There will be four laborations, written individually or in pairs.
Reporting is done via Fire. Before reporting, you must run your program through a test suite, such as the one for lab 1.
Final deadline is Saturday 21 March for all returned and corrected labs. No labs will be graded after this deadline.
We guarantee two gradings per lab: one for the version submitted before the ordinary deadline for that lab, the other for a resubmission before the final deadline. If your first submission is after the lab deadline, only one grading is guaranteed.
The main book will be one that developed from earlier editions of this course:
If you are really interested in the topic, for instance, if you want to continue with the Compiler Construction course, you should also consider the Dragon book,
Both books are available at web bookshops. The main book will also be sold at Cremona.
Written exam, usual grading scales.
Date: 20 March
Time: 2:00 afternoon
Place: M (Hörsalsvägen 5)
The exam has the same structure as these old exams.
Further, here are some exercises and solutions to prepare for the exam.
