This is the homepage of Com S 541, a course on programming languages, as taught by Hridesh Rajan in Fall 2009 at Iowa State University. These pages make the course related materials available.

What's New: This year we are using the manuscript/course notes entitled Software Foundations under development by Prof. Benjamin Pierce and colleagues. These notes provide an interactive experience that makes studying programming language theory a whole lot of fun!
