Ada 95: Problem Solving and Program Design
Author Description
In this third edition, educators Michael Feldman and Elliot Koffman continue to refine and enhance their balanced presentation of modern programming concepts and Ada 95 language capabilities. Students with no prior programming experience will begin to program with this interesting and powerful, yet flexible language that is used in the Boeing 777 and Airbus 340, the International Space Station, the European high-speed rail system, and many other major projects around the world.This text includes a CD-ROM containing versions of the GNU Ada 95 compiler (GNAT), other program development tools, and high-resolution graphics support for the Windows, DOS, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems. GNAT supports the full Ada 95 language as standardized by the ISO and the ANSI.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This text investigates the fundamental principles of computer programming and software design through the specific lens of the Ada 95 language. Authors Elliot B. Koffman and Michael B. Feldman, both experienced educators in computer science, utilize a structured pedagogical approach to introduce novices to programming logic. By integrating language-specific syntax with broader software engineering concepts, the book provides a comprehensive framework for building reliable and efficient software systems.
THE SCOPE MAP
