Ada Project Summary

Ada Project Summary

[mfeldman]

Hi all,

I've been revising and republishing the Ada project summary at

http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~mfeldman/ada-project-summary.html

quite frequently.

For the forthcoming ACM Symposium on Computer Science Education
(SIGCSE 2000), the second week in March, we will be operating a
SIGAda exhibit as usual. I'm going to make paper copies of the
list to distribute there. I want this list to be as complete as
we can possibly make it, so as to maximize its influence on the
CS educators we meet there.

So I want to make one more big push to recruit items for the
list. Don't worry if you don't have a web link for a project;
whether or not we have a link, listing a project is better than
not listing it!

Send listing info (in confidence, of course!) to
mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu.

Thanks!

LearnAda - Thanks (was Seek Advice ...)

[BSCrawford]

This is to report back, and say thanks, to those on Team Ada 
and comp.lang.ada who offered suggestions re publishing and 
those who requested review copies of "LearnAda" Volume 1, 
"Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary." 

Marin Condic, John Harbaugh, David Hoos and Rush Kester have 
already supplied very useful comments and criticisms. 

Karl Nyberg suggested I consider self-publishing, and I am 
now planning to do that, at least initially. (The publishing 
world has changed radically in the last few years.) 

I plan to begin selling the browser-based version through my 
own LearnAda.com web site very shortly. (price, $12)  

The printed book should appear for sale at some printer/
publisher's web site in six weeks or so.  I have to make a 
selection among several candidates first. The PDF version 
will be sold at the FatBrain.com site.  
(FatBrain doesn't know it yet.)

Announcements will appear here when appropriate. 

Please don't stop the reviewing process. Some of you are 
college teachers or corporate trainers, and I realize that 
the Spring term is just beginning. Your feedback will be 
valuable for the next version. 

Thanks again to all, 

Bard Crawford

Announce LearnAda, Browser Version 1.0

[BSCrawford]

Stage Harbor Software announces the release of the first 
volume in the new "LearnAda" series.  It can be ordered 
at the www.LearnAda.com web site.  

The title of this first volume is 
"Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary" 

It will soon be offered in three forms: a printed book, 
a PDF version of the book, and a collection of web pages 
viewed on modern browsers such Netscape Navigator or 
MS Internet Explorer.  The browser version (available 
now at a price of $12) has many hyperlinks linking 
elements of normal text, source code examples and 
graphical representations.  

The other two versions will be available soon at prices 
to be determined.
