- ABOUT THE AUTHOR
- ___________________________________________________________
-
- The author of this tutorial began programming in 1961 using
- FORTRAN on an IBM 1620. Since then, most of his career has
- been involved with designing digital logic for satellite
- application. In 1983, being somewhat burned out with logic
- design, he began a study of some of the more modern
- programming languages and has since made a complete career
- shift to software development. After learning Pascal, C was
- studied, followed by Modula-2 and Ada, and more recently C++.
- Rather than simply learning the syntax of each new language,
- modern methods of software engineering were studied and
- applied to effectively utilize the languages. He is current-
- ly employed by a large research and development laboratory
- where he continues to study, teach, and apply the newer
- programming languages.
