EECS 398-001: Programming Paradigms

The University of Michigan
Winter 2021
Looking for Winter 2022?

Survey of programming language features and paradigms, with a focus on how to effectively use them. Introduces common features for structuring program execution, data, and resource management. Exploration of programming paradigms including imperative, functional, object-oriented, and declarative paradigms, as well as advanced techniques such as metaprogramming. Students will gain programming experience in large projects that incorporate these paradigms and techniques.

See the syllabus for all the details.
