- Late Homework Policy
- Late homework submitted within 48 hours of the specified

Homework more that 48 hours late, but less than one week (168 hours)
will receive 50% of the earned grade. No assignments will be
accepted more than one week late. If you submit part of an assignment
on time and part late, only the late part will be discounted. (If you face extenuating circumstances,
please talk to me as early as possible)
- Class Examples
- SWI Prolog
- The site for the version of Prolog I'm using in class.
- Prolog in Action!
- An article about a new startup Kyndi that is using Prolog to create their product.
- Racket
- Here's the homepage for the version of Scheme we're using this this semester (including DrRacket). Free downloads are available
as well as various documentation.
- How To Design Programs
- This book (full text available online) is an introduction to
programming using Scheme as its language. That makes it a great
introduction to functional programming.
- Purpose-Built Languages
- This article by Mike Shapiro discusses reasons why and how a lot of
interpreters are created.

Programming Languages Textbook
- This is a direct link to the pdf of our second text. It's possible to
download the text or buy a printed copy. The site says Amazon sells
the book, but I don't think that's still true. Lulu does still sell it.
Please DO NOT download the book and then print it on the department
printers. We can't afford to have that much paper used up.
You can find the full site for the book
here.
