  8. Present your compiler extension concept: the final week

For the project you build a compiler in Scala, based on our templates. The first six parts are done individually and are worth 6.25% whereas the final part (own compiler extension) is done in groups of up to 3 students and is worth 12.5%. We have an automated grading system and also provide feedback based on manual source code review.

First class: Wednesday 18 September at 8:15am in the classroom INF213.

Please note the unusual schedule the first week. The second week schedule is more typical.
