Lectures: Tuesdays and Fridays at 9am through Semester 1, alternately in rooms G.11 (Tuesday) and G.02 (Friday) of the William Robertson Building.

The APL blog carries information about the content of the lectures, homework, references and further discussion of background material.

Contact: The course lecturers are David Aspinall and Ian Stark.

The most effective way to contact either of the lecturers is by personal email, from your University email address. However, many questions are better posed on the APL blog.

Coursework: Each lecture specifies additional reading and exercises on the topics covered. This homework is not assessed, but it is essential for those wishing to fully participate in the course.

In additional, there is a substantial piece of written coursework which contributes 20% of students' course grade. This requires investigation of a topic in programming languages and writing a 10-page report.

Blog: The course has its own blog carrying announcements about lecture content, updates to the web page, homework, and coursework. Some homework exercises may require contributing your own comments to the blog; you can also use comments to ask questions about the course, and respond to the questions of others.

You can also follow the blog on twitter.
