Modern scripting languages I

Scripting languages are becoming increasingly important in the development process, both in rapid prototyping and in production systems. In the project "Modern Scripting Languages" different languages will be investigated and applied and evaluated in some application scenarios.

Each group of participants will deal with two languages and implement several scenarios. In a weekly meeting the collected experiences, problems and solutions will be discussed. Finally, the languages will be compared retrospectively through a short presentation.

The selected languages include Ruby, Python, Perl but also exotics like Factor, Io and Scala. Additional languages can be suggested in advance via email.

Further information can be found in the project's wiki.
 
Tasks
The scenarios can include, for example

• Standard algorithms of computer science

• GUI development

• Graphic programming

• Web frameworks

• Parallelization options

The topics will be explained and discussed in more detail in the preliminary meeting.

Participants
Students of the diploma, bachelor or master program in computer science from the 5th semester and other interested parties.

Requirements
Successful completion of the courses: Introduction to Programming, Algorithms and Data Structures, Programming Methodology.

Project leader
Michael Lesniak
Prof. Dr. Claudia Leopold

Preliminary discussion and further scheduling
Wednesday, 09.04.08 from 14.30-16.00 in the laboratory of the department (room 0646)

Scope

• Bachelor 8 SWS / 12 ECTS
• Master 4 SWS / 8 ECTS

Other
Interested? Questions? Please contact Prof. Dr. Claudia Leopold by e-mail. The earlier it is known how many people are interested, the better the project can be planned and the event can be prepared.
