Product Description
Product Description
Students with no prior programming experience will begin to program with this powerful language ideal for large-scale software system development, such as the Boeing 777. Ada 95 is the first object-oriented programming language to be internationally standardized. This allows the programs presented in the text to be completely portable to any validated Ada 95 compiler. While presenting a balanced mixture of modern programming concepts and Ada 95 language capabilities, this text provides a solid programming foundation.

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.
Features- Provides an optional second chapter that uses "spider graphics" to swiftly introduce students to algorithmic control structures
- Introduces control structures, data structures, and system (encapsulation) structures in parallel throughout the book
- Uses proven pedagogical features to encourage strong programming skills. These include case studies, self-check exercises, programming style displays, syntax displays, and common-error discussions in every chapter

Format:Paperback
The text is an organized, well written, generously exampled introduction to Ada95 for the novice. It provides a good basis for object oriented programming using Ada95 for generics and privates (ADTs), it does not cover as fully or clearly inheritance and/or polymorphism. This book is apropriate for a 200 level CS class. I personally was disappointed with the amount of clear differentiation between Ada83 and Ada95. The section on tasking dismisses conditional Select entry as being beyond the scope of the book. Variant records are given too large a play. though they are a good intro to the thinking behind Ada polymorphism, in practice (Ada83) they are too code intensive and have serious short comings when used as private data elements. Overall, I think that this is a good, complete Ada95 introductory text. It is NOT an in-depth push the boundaries of the language or a "here's how to go from Ada 83 to Ada 95."

I use this book in several Ada courses that I teach. This book is outstanding! The accompanying CD contains a validated compiler and all the examples in the textbook. The examples are excellent!

If you like to know the most complicated way to program then this is the book for you! Ada95 is a very long winded programming language and this book makes a tedious language even worse to study. Purchase at your own risk!
