Programming Language Resources: Principles of Programming Languages, Summer 2008

• Unix introductory materials
• tutorial on pointers and arrays in C
• a garbage collector for C and C++, I've never used it but check out the details (mark and sweep) and generational garbage collection.

• Implementation
  • SWI-Prolog is the implementation we will be using for the course. Should be installed on spanky.rutgers.edu. Type "pl" to start it up there. You can download versions for your personal machine, but we will use the version installed on the CS machines for grading so be sure to test there as well as your personal computer.
• Prolog Tutorials
  • INTRO: Adventure in Prolg tutorial
  • INTRO: On-line Guide to Prolog Programming
  • INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED: Prolog Tutorial

• DrScheme: the implementation we will be using for the course (versions available for Windows, Mac, and Unix operating systems).
  • An old page (2004) on installing and using DrScheme. NOTE, we will be using DrScheme and not the interpreter "scm" on remus as done in 2004.
