Announcing
A D A - T U T R
The Interactive Ada Tutor!
Software Innovations Technology proudly announces ADA-TUTR, an
interactive tutorial that trains people to be excellent Ada
programmers in minimum time. When run on an IBM-compatible PC,
ADA-TUTR requires no Ada compiler. A list of Ada compilers available
for the PC is included, however. Because the Ada source code is
supplied with the program, ADA-TUTR also runs on other computers with
Ada compilers, such as mainframes and workstations.
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 course of interactive
instruction that even checks "homework" assignments. ADA-TUTR teaches
good program design, not just syntax, so that programs will take
advantage of the features of Ada that 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
and the State University of New York. He also taught Ada to employees
of General Electric Co., Grumman Aerospace Corp., and Harris Corp.
Individuals, schools, and companies may try ADA-TUTR without charge
(except for a copying fee). To use ADA-TUTR after a free trial, an
individual registers for a one-time charge of only $25. Organizations
buy licenses for a one-time charge as follows:
Number of Users: Price of License:
Up to 100 only $450 A license may always be
Up to 500 only $725 upgraded for only the
Up to 2000 only $950 difference in price.
Unlimited only $2400
Individuals can earn generous commissions by distributing copies of
ADA-TUTR. Full information is included with the program.
An update of ADA-TUTR is planned with the next revision (9X) of the
Ada language. Registered and licensed users receive updates on a
5.25" disk for only $5, or on a 3.5" disk for only $10.
Send only $10 for a trial copy of ADA-TUTR on a 5.25" disk, or send
$30 for a registered copy for full use by one individual, with one
year of Technical Support. Send $5 more if you prefer a 3.5" disk.
