Abstract
The compiler course is a fixture of undergraduate computer science education. Most CS programs offer a course on compilers that includes a substantial project where students write a compiler for a small programming language. The project often serves two distinct purposes: it teaches something about language design and compiler implementation, and it gives students the experience of building a substantial software system. A compiler project is the most complex software engineering task many students complete in an undergraduate program.

Developing our cool console games: a teaching reform case of computer programming course
ACM TURC '18: Proceedings of ACM Turing Celebration Conference - ChinaThis paper proposes a new teaching reform case "Developing Console Game" for Computer Programming course. This case revolves around the theme of "game design" that almost all young students are interested in, and simulates the process of solving ...
From HOT to COOL: transforming higher-order typed languages to concept-constrained object-oriented languages
LDTA '12: Proceedings of the Twelfth Workshop on Language Descriptions, Tools, and ApplicationsIn this paper, we present a transformation that maps type-level expressions from functional higher-order, typed (HOT) languages to type-level expressions in object-oriented HOT languages by mapping higher-order types to type parameters of generics that ...
