- 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.
