Welcome to CS 421!
In this lecture the professor will introduce the course. You will learn:
- Why we study languages. What does a knowledge of programming languages do for you?
- How the course is organized. We will discuss the asynchronous video lectures, weekly activities, machine problems, and AI-proctored online exams.
- What programming in
Haskell looks like. You will get to write some short programs in your favorite language and see what an equivalent Haskell program looks like.
Note: The course introduction video talks about different assignments; it was recorded for an earlier version of the class, so do not consider what it says to be canonical. The course syllabus will have the current information.
