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 host a series of tutorials on exciting programming language topics including templates, Python and virtual machines. Additionally, we will hold regular discussions on programming language topices of interest to the membership. All parties are welcome to attend regardless of experience level.
