This course will teach modern compiler techniques applied to both general-purpose and domain-specific languages. The examples chosen will also convey a detailed knowledge of stateof-the art based WWW technology. The fundamental goal of programming is to provide instructions to the computer hardware. The primary purpose of the compiler/translator is to facilitate communication from the programmer via some high level language to ultimately the computer hardware. Understanding how compiler/translators are built and operate is important to understanding efficiency of operation and storage. Prerequisite: COMP-SCI 352.
