This module aims to encourage students to become polyglot programmers. It will equip them with a
broad understanding of the nature of a range of programming paradigms and the support provided
for each paradigm in currently popular programming languages. Thus it will equip students to be able
to make appropriate choices to best meet the requirements of a specific programming problem. The
module also introduces a range of advanced programming techniques, such as asynchronous
messaging, parallel computation and distributed programming. The module will additionally provide
coverage of current and emerging programming paradigms, languages and techniques.
