Abstract

This index covers the lecture notes and the final course project reports for COMP6411 Summer 2010 at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, Comparative Study of Programming Languages by 4 teams trying compare a set of common criteria and their applicability to about 10 distinct programming languages, where 5 language choices were provided by the instructor and five were picked by each team and each student individually compared two of the 10 and then the team did a summary synthesis across all 10 languages. Their findings are posted here for further reference, comparative studies, and analysis.
