Abstract

We study the .NET platform, various .NET languages and their interoperability (with an emphasis on C# and SML .NET), compare C# and Java 1.5, and develop related educational material to be used in a Programming Paradigms course. Introducing .NET - one platform supporting different paradigms - in such a course seems to be a unique experience in Computer Science Education. It may be a motivating factor for students to learn new programming languages.

P#: a concurrent prolog for the .NET framework

We discuss P#, our implementation of a tool that allows interoperation between a concurrent superset of the Prolog programming language and C#. This enables Prolog to be used as a native implementation language for Microsoft's .NET platform. P# compiles ...
