Course Catalog Description

Group study of selected topics in Computer Sciences, usually relating to new developments.

Why do we study Python, Java, or C? Have you ever wanted to learn something a little more out there? In this course, we’ll be pushing the limits of what defines programming languages by exploring the wonderful world of Esoteric Programming languages (esolangs). From LOLCODE, Piet, to whitespace you will learn some fun, some challenging, and some outright weird programming languages.
