This course is a graduate CS 520 (CRN 64271) and senior CS 410 (CRN 64270) seminar about dependently types programing. In this course we will use the Omega language which supports a simple form of dependently typed programming which is very similar to Haskell.

Here are some of the topics we might cover.

1. The Curry-Howard isomorphism.
2. Tagless typed interpreters.
3. Data-generic programming (i.e. Maps at all types, generic show, generic marshalling).
4. Size generic programming (i.e. List based maps for 1,2,3, ... lists).
5. Typed meta-programming (i.e. programs that write programs).
6. Logical relations as witness types.
7. Programming at the type level.
8. Types and hardware descriptions.
9. Programming language meta-theory (Subject reduction).

Here are links to some of the materials we will use.

1. Omega users manual
2. Programming in Omega
3. Generic Programming in Omega.
