ADA-TUTR by Software Innovations Technology Registration($25.00)
Software Innovations Technology proudly announces ADA-TUTR, an Ada Tutor
program to train people to be excellent Ada programmers in minimum time.
It runs on PCs as well as mainframes.
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).
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.
When ADA-TUTR is run on a PC, an Ada compiler is helpful, but not
required. A list of Ada compilers available for the PC, some of them
inexpensive, is included. The PC needs a hard disk, and can have a
monochrome or color monitor. Since ADA-TUTR comes with Ada source code,
it will run on other computers with Ada compilers.
