Announcing 2 HOT_Ada Modules on Info Systems

[bscrawford@aol.com (BSCrawford)]

Stage Harbor Software announces the release of Books 5 and 6 in the 
series of online tutorials called HOT_Ada (Hypergraphic tutorials 
in Object Technology and Ada 95). The two new "books" are a 
companion pair dealing with the use of Ada 95 in developing 
Information Systems. 

Authored by Dr. Ben Brosgol (author of Annex F "Information Systems" 
of the Ada 95 Reference Manual) and Dr. Bard Crawford (author of 
earlier HOT_Ada modules), these computer-based training products run 
on Windows platforms (95 or NT). 

Book 5 contains a set of illustrated lessons on decimal types, 
      picture strings, character and string handling, and 
      interfacing with legacy code written in COBOL and C. 

Book 6 is built around a non-trivial Payroll System case study, 
      which further illustrates the issues covered in Book 5 and 
      also illustrates the use of Aonix's ObjectAda (tm) for 
      Windows system, especially its GUI Builder. Implementation 
      in Ada is preceeded by language-independent object oriented 
      analysis and object oriented design steps. 

The graphic notation in these two books has been updated 
(compared to earlier HOT_Ada modules) to be consistent with the 
Unified Modeling Language (UML). 

The price is $29 for either book; $39 for the 2-book set. 
($15 and $20 for full-time students) 
Site licenses are also available.
