The targeted competences are:

Related to knowledge and understanding:

• understanding the architecture of language processors
• view a programming language as part and parcel of a solution to a major software challenge
• be aware of the variety and depth of programming language concerns

Related to applicability of knowledge and understanding:

To grasp the fundamentals of programming language engineering.

Related to judgement:

To be able to assess the alternative language feature implementations in a particular problem context.

Related to communication:

To be able to present an engineered domain specific language as the correct solution to a targeted problem.

Related to learning skills:

To be able to accumulate the acquired skills in an ever growing platform of expertise.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
ZELF Paper bepaalt 100% van het eindcijfer
