COURSE: CS272
TITLE:  Survey of Programming Languages

Credit Hours: 3
Description: This course will briefly look at six to eight languages, comparing and contrasting their strengths and weaknesses. Several structured languages like C++, Pascal, Java, and C# will be surveyed along with assembler, and AI languages like LISP or Prolog, and COBOL. Because of the brief treatment of each language, students are not expected to be proficient at any of the languages but should be able to recognize and understand code and the strengths and weaknesses of each language.
