ACM   SIGPLAN
 

Special Interest Group on Programming Languages

SIGPLAN is the Special Interest Group of ACM that focuses on Programming Languages. The group promotes awareness and advancement of research and practice in programming languages. The SIG serves as a forum for members to design, present and learn about new programming techniques, languages and abstractions. This semester, we will be working on a few projects, in addition to our weekly presentation-discussions. All parties are welcome to attend regardless of experience level.
