The Interactive Ada Tutor!
Software Innovations Technology proudly announces Version 3.1 of ADA-TUTR,
an interactive tutorial that will train you to be an excellent Ada 95
programmer in minimum time. ADA-TUTR runs on a wide variety of platforms.
When run on a PC, ADA-TUTR requires no Ada compiler, because .COM files for the
PC are included. The .COM files will run under DOS or under a DOS partition in
Windows. Under DOS, any monochrome or color monitor is suitable, and no
extended or expanded memory is required. Under Windows, whatever hardware
you're using for Windows will be more than adequate for ADA-TUTR.
Since Ada 83 source code is included, ADA-TUTR will also run on other
platforms that have an Ada 83 or an Ada 95 compiler. For example, ADA-TUTR has
been successfully installed on VAX VMS mainframes, UNIX workstations, etc.
Ada is an ideal programming language, because Ada programs tend to have
fewer errors, to be easier to read, and to be much easier to modify later.
The U.S. Department of Defense mandated the use of Ada in mission-critical
systems (DoD Directive 3405.2, 1987). The Defense Appropriations Act of 1991
extends this mandate to all defense applications software.
Not just a "quiz," ADA-TUTR is a thorough interactive tutor that even
checks your "homework" assignments. ADA-TUTR teaches good program design, not
just syntax, so that your programs will take advantage of the features of Ada
that will make them more reliable and easier to maintain. ADA-TUTR was written
by John J. Herro, Ph.D., who taught graduate courses in Ada at the Florida
Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL, and the State University of New York
at Binghamton. He also taught Ada to employees of General Electric Co.,
Grumman Aerospace Corp. (now Northrop Grumman), and Harris Corp.
ADA-TUTR is shareware. A registered copy on a 3.5-inch diskette, for full
use by one individual, is only $35. You may copy the program for others to
evaluate; they are on their honor to register if they use ADA-TUTR beyond
evaluation. Registration for those who already have a copy of ADA-TUTR is $25.
Companies and schools with more than 18 people who will use ADA-TUTR can save
money by buying a license for a one-time charge as follows:
