- This semester I am teaching a 1-credit hands-on Ada class
- (newly created course). The objective of the course is to
- introduce the Ada environment in a semester with several
- hands-on exercises. Prerequisites are CS1 & 2. Since it is
- a completely lab oriented course (meets in a master-slave-indep
- set up lab once a week for 2 hours) I am thinking of developing
- a lab manual for it. We are using Bray & Pokrass as the text
- for reading specifics on Ada. The lab manual will evolve
- and will supplement this text (or other similar texts). I was
- wondering if there are any such Ada Workbooks out there...(before
- someone shoots me down with a pointer to AJPO adabooks...I have
- checked that list)....and if not, are there people interested
- in something like this...
-
- It would serve the following purposes:
-
- 1) Serve as a self-help workbook for the Ada Language (and environement)
- 2) Will introduce Ada features to the extent that the workbook CAN
- be stand-alone (however, it will have to be complemented by a real
- Ada text).
- 3) Could be used for the kind of 1-credit courses mentioned above.
-
- Any suggestions?
