Modern scripting languages I

Scripting languages are becoming increasingly important in the development process, both in rapid prototyping and in production systems. In the "Modern scripting languages" project, various languages are examined and applied and evaluated in several application scenarios.

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

The selected languages include Ruby, Python, Perl as well as exotic languages such as Factor, Io and Scala. Further languages can be suggested in advance by email.

Further information can be found in the project wiki.

Task areas
The scenarios can include, for example

• Standard algorithms in computer science

• GUI development

• Graphics programming

• Web frameworks

• Parallelization options

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

Participants
Students on the Diploma, Bachelor's or Master's degree course 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 we know how many students are interested, the better we can plan the project and prepare the course.
