Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to present two main programming paradigms: functional and object-oriented; one main objective is to highlight different characteristics and common aspects of such paradigms. These aspects will be analyzed by accounting for both the absrtactions provided by a specific language and its design principles. This analysis will be carried on by giving an overview of some real languages conforming different paradigms.
