Programming
Programming should be in Java, or failing that, in C++, but not in C. (You must have more than C programming experience when you enter the job market.)
Grading Policy
Your grade will depend on recitation work, consisting of programming projects and written homework, on an in-class midterm exam, on the final exam, and on attendance.
Textbook:
I use various online materials instead of an official textbook.
Description (From the UTSA Undergraduate Catalog):
3723 Programming Languages (PDF)
(3-0) 3 hours credit. Prerequisites: CS 2213 and 3233.
An introduction to the organization of high-level programming languages, including data types, control structures, data flow, and run time environments. Use of formal syntax descriptions. The implications of interpretation versus compilation. Activation records and dynamic storage in block structured languages.
Prerequisites: CS 3233 (Discrete Mathematical Structures) and CS 2213 (Advanced Programming). These are both important prerequisites and you must have taken these courses to enroll in CS 3723. You also ought to take the course CS 2413 (Systems Programming) before this course. Finally, three of the recitations will use material from the course CS 2733 (Computer Organization II) and you should also take this course first.
