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? Deepak. -- I'm not a teacher but I play one at school. kumard@cs.buffalo.EDU Deepak Kumar, Department of Comp.
