helping people develop the computer programming skills they need to be<br />
successful," said John Smolucha, vice president of marketing, Metrowerks.<br />
"Just as we continually seek to improve our professional development tools,<br />
we've added functionality to our Learning Edition product to make it easier<br />
than ever for people to learn how to program."</p>
<p>Also new in version 3 are Java Power Tools from Northeastern University,<br />
which enable the rapid development of Java-based graphical user interfaces<br />
(GUIs) with automatic error checking of user input. Java Power Tools make<br />
it possible for simple GUIs to be built in a matter of minutes, and large<br />
GUIs to be created in about an hour.</p>
<p>"The CodeWarrior development environment is so well designed that it's easy<br />
for students in an academic setting to use," said Richard Rasala, Associate<br />
Dean for Undergraduate Education at Northeastern University. "Metrowerks<br />
offers an elegant IDE for Java, C++, and C on multiple operating systems<br />
and target platforms. Beginning students can work easily on simple projects<br />
while advanced students have access to all of the support for<br />
object-oriented programming that one would expect in a professional<br />
environment. The CodeWarrior Learning Edition provides tools and examples<br />
that are specifically aimed at students and that will speed their learning."</p>
<p>To further shorten the learning curve, Metrowerks includes with the product<br />
a voice-over multimedia tutorial that provides a step-by-step walk-through<br />
of the CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The tutorial<br />
allows the user to focus on learning how to write code, rather than<br />
learning how to use the tools. The product also features a streamlined<br />
version of the CodeWarrior IDE, with a toolbar that can be customized to<br />
fit the user's needs, as well as simplified documentation written with the<br />
beginner in mind.</p>
<p>CodeWarrior Learning Edition also includes the popular Carnegie Mellon<br />
University Graphics package, allowing users to add geometric shapes and<br />
graphic images to the projects they create.</p>
<p>Metrowerks' line of CodeWarrior software development tools have been<br />
selected by more than 1,200 top schools and universities in the United<br />
States, Canada and Europe to teach their students how to write software<br />
programs.</p>
<p>Special Advanced Placement Module<br />
For educators and students, CodeWarrior Learning Edition v3 includes a<br />
special Advanced Placement (AP) Module designed to help high school<br />
students prepare for the Computer Science AP Exam. The module includes the<br />
latest Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science classes, AP project<br />
templates, and the latest beta of the Marine Biology Case Study.</p>
<p>Free Online Programming Courses<br />
Complementing the CodeWarrior Learning Edition tools, Metrowerks offers<br />
free, self-paced courses on its CodeWarriorU.com site, including courses<br />
covering programming in C/C++ and Java languages, and programming for Mac<br />
OS and Windows operating systems. With more than 100,000 registered users,<br />
