Textbooks
There is no required text for this course. The following texts, available at the bookstore and on reserve at the library, are useful as references for different topics covered in the course.

• Recommended: Scala for the Impatient 2nd Edition, 2017. Cay S. Horstmann
  We will be using Scala as a base language in this course. This text provides a good, relatively quick introduction/reference for the Scala language.
• Optional: Programming in Scala 3rd Edition, 2016. Martin Odersky
  A more comprehensive, much but also less gentle Scala reference.
• Optional: Types and Programming Languages 2002. Benjamin C. Pierce
  A classic reference, somewhat expensive and covering much more than we will get to in-class, but useful if you find type systems interesting. You can also find earlier, draft versions of the text on the web.

Assignment and Exam Policy

Assignments must be submitted on time. Late assignments will only be accepted in highly-exceptional circumstances and only with written permission of the instructor. Note that excessive workload in other courses and equipment failure are not valid excuses. No assignment submissions will be accepted after marked assignments have been returned, or after solutions have been discussed in class.

McGill University values academic integrity. Therefore all students must understand the meaning and consequences of cheating, plagiarism and other academic offenses under the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures (see McGill's Integrity page for more information).

More specifically, work submitted for this course must represent your own efforts. All work is individual, and copying assignments or tests, or allowing others to copy your work, in whole or part, will not be tolerated.
