Learner Reviews & Feedback for Programming Languages, Part C by University of Washington
About the Course
to material from Part A and Part B.] This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of programming languages, with a strong emphasis on
functional programming. The course uses the languages ML, Racket, and Ruby as vehicles for teaching the concepts, but the real intent is to
teach enough about how any language “fits together” to make you more effective programming in any language -- and in learning new ones.
This course is neither particularly theoretical nor just about programming specifics -- it will give you a framework for underst...

Great course, nicely rounded off the discussions from previous parts. Really puts OOP style programming in context and nicely contrasts it from the functional programming concepts. Highly recommended!

This course covers many concepts in detail and provides the opportunity to practice them through challenging homework. It is highly recommended. Also, the teacher's enthusiasm helps a lot ;)

Again, great course - I was a little bit shaky on the Ruby, but to be honest this was my first real dive into what OOP is "really like" (as far as I can tell). I was also impressed by how certain important concepts from Part B were also tested towards the end (e.g., streams). I also enjoyed the material on subtyping towards the end; it makes you actually want to be interested in implementing a small language like that someday. The only caveat I must mention (and what the missing star is due to) is that, I had a little trouble on my Linux machine getting a version of Tcl/Tk to work with my installation of Ruby, since Ruby doesn't accept the latest (packaged) version of Tcl/Tk. I also had trouble with Jruby, and in the end opted to manually install older versions of Tcl and Tk. But I think the Tetris experience was worth it :) That whole little sidetrack actually also turned me on to the possibility of how PLs use graphics libraries in general, so let's see where that leads...
