- The Interactive Ada Tutor!
-
- 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.
-
- Individuals, schools, and companies may try ADA-TUTR without charge
- (except for a copying fee). To use the 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 selling registrations or
- licenses. Full information is included with ADA-TUTR.
-
- 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 1/4" diskette for only $5, or on a 3 1/2" diskette for only $10.
-
- Send only $10 for a trial copy of ADA-TUTR on a 5 1/4" disk, or send
- $30 for a registered copy for full use by one individual. Send $5
- more if you prefer a 3 1/2" diskette.
