In recent years, it has become practical to build large software systems using formal proof assistants. Examples of such certified systems include the seL4 microkernel, the CompCert C compiler, the Vellvm LLVM compiler, and the Bedrock library. This course provides a hands-on introduction to programming using the Coq proof assistant. Assessment is based on participation and a substantial course project.
