CSC C24 — Resources

You will use MarkUs to submit the homework exercises that involve programming. Once an exercise is graded, you will use MarkUs to access the results of the grading. Use your UTORid to log in.

You will use crowdmark to submit hand-written homework exercises. Once an exercise is graded, you will use crowdmark to access the results of the grading. Use your UTORmail credentials to log in.

piazza is a discussion forum with many features that are designed specifically for use with courses. We encourage you to post questions (and answers!) on piazza, and read what other questions your classmates have posted. The discussion board will be monitored by your instructor and teaching assistants.

This list will grow as we cover more material.

• John C. Mitchell, Concepts In Programming Languages, Cambridge University Press.
• R. Kent Dybvig, The Scheme Programming Language, 4th ed., The MIT Press. Available online free.
• Simon Thompson, Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming, 3rd ed., Addison-Wesley, 2011.
• Ivan Bratko, Prolog: Programming for Artificial Intelligence, 4th ed., Addison-Wesley, 2011.

Make sure you are running correct versions of all software we are using in the course!

• Python:
  • We are using Python3.11 and all tools for Python3.11.
  • We will use flake8 version 6.1. You can download it from the official site.
  • We will use pylint version 3.0 which you can get from the Pylint website, which contains information on installation and usage.
• Java:
  • We will use Java 21 in this course.
  • CheckStyle tool
  • We will use the Google Java style configuration for CheckStyle.
  • You can download it from the above website or here.
• Racket/Scheme
  • We are using Racket 8.11.
  • Racket official site.
  • We will adopt these excellent racket style guidelines from Brown.
  • A bit more than we require, but excellent reading on racket Textual Matters.
  • We will use the built-in racket unit testing support.
• Haskell
  • HASKELL: The Craft of Functional Programming by Simon Thompson is now available online free
  • haskell.org: everything you ever wanted to know about Haskell but were afraid to ask.
  • download Haskell software. We will need GHC 9. If you have enough space on your machine, download "Haskell Platform". If you are short on space, download "Minimal installers". Make sure you have "cabal" working — you will need it to install required software.
  • My favourite Haskell tutorial: Learn You a Haskell for Great Good.
  • We will use HLint Version 3.6 as a "stylechecker" for our Haskell programs.
• Prolog
  • SWI-Prolog: a free open-source implementation of Prolog we will use. Please install version 9.

• Past final for practice.
• Past midterm for practice.
