CS134b Course Overview

This second term course is an introduction to programming languages and compilers. During the course of the term, we will implement a compiler for the "FJava" programming language, a language similar to Java with higher-order functions. We'll cover lexing and parsing, semantics analysis, intermediate code generation, optimization, and machine code generation.

During the term, we'll be posting examples of excellent student work on the Pearls page. If you have a question, you should first look at the FAQ; if your question is not answered there, you can ask the instructor or one of the TAs listed on the People page.
