+# This ProSeminar
+
+## Curriculum
+
+> […] development of a compiler for a simple procedural programming language 
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Bachelor Study**
+
+- Brain
+
+- - -
+
+- Fluent in C (or C++)
+    - Includes debugger
+
+- Algorithms and data structures
+    - Graphs + traversal
+
+- Operating systems

+
+## Ultimate Goal
+
+- Building a compiler
+    - Specification provided
+    - Evaluation scheme provided
+
+## In the Lab
+
+- QA sessions
+- I'll be present for questions
+- You can work on your compiler
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Working compiler
+- More positive than negative QA grades
+- Initial submission (additional example input)
+
+## Optional Milestones
+
+- Not graded
+- Provide a golden thread
+- Loosely connected to the lecture
+- Enable you to get my feedback
+
+## Teams
+
