Ada 95
Author: John English
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 518
Book Description
Ada 95: The Craft of Object-oriented Programming is a beginner's introduction to Ada 95 which uses an example-driven approach that gradually develops small trivial programs into large case studies. The main emphasis of this exciting new publication is on using object-oriented technology to write maintainable, extensible programs. Program design concepts are introduced throughout the text, using maintenance scenarios to highlight shortcomings and produce improved designs. Practical issues such as debugging techniques are tackled, and important Ada features not found in other languages are dealt with early in the text. These include exception handling, user-defined types, procedures, functions, packages and child packages. Ada 95: The Craft of Object-oriented Programming is essential reading for anybody who requires a comprehensive guide to the Ada 95 programming language. Key features: Example-driven approach with examples developed gradually throughout the text, emphasis upon maintenance and maintainability of programs, in-chapter problems and end-of-chapter exercises, and worked examples and case studies throughout the text to aid student learning.

Ada and the Number-Crunching Machine
Author: Zoë Tucker
Publisher: NorthSouth Books
ISBN: 0735843171
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
This is Ada. Although she might look like an ordinary little girl, she’s about to change the world. Augusta Ada Byron, better known as Ada Lovelace, is an inquisitive child. Like her clever mother, she loves solving problems—big problems, little problems, and tricky, complicated problems. Ada invents crazy contraptions and reads all the books in the library of her father, the poet Lord Byron; but most of all she loves to solve mathematical problems. Together with her teacher, the mathematician Charles Babbage, Ada invents the world’s first computer program. Her achievements made her a pioneer for women in the sciences. Zoë Tucker’s words capture the adventurous life of Ada succinctly, and debut picture book illustrator Rachel Katstaller’s art infuses Victorian London with humor. "An impressively balanced mix of engaging description and important facts with a quick explanation of the gender politics of the time and information about Ada's legacy...Inspiring, feminist, and informative in equal parts." –Kirkus Reviews

2021 Schneider Family Book Award Young Children's Honor Book (American Library Association) Experience the true story of lifelong activist Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins and her participation in the Capitol Crawl in this inspiring autobiographical picture book. This beautifully illustrated story includes a foreword from Jennifer and backmatter detailing her life and the history of the disability rights movement. This is the story of a little girl who just wanted to go, even when others tried to stop her. Jennifer Keelan was determined to make a change—even if she was just a kid. She never thought her wheelchair could slow her down, but the way the world around her was built made it hard to do even simple things. Like going to school, or eating lunch in the cafeteria. Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them. And, without her wheelchair, she climbed. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! A Rise: A Feminist Book Project Nominee A Junior Library Guild Selection All the Way to the Top is perfect for: Elementary school teachers looking for books to supplement disability rights curriculum and the history of the ADA (find a free Common-Core Aligned Educator Guide at www.sourcebooks.com) Parents looking for social justice picture books, books on activism and for young activists, and inspiring books for girls Parents, teachers, librarians, and guardians looking for beautifully illustrated, inspirational and educational books for young readers in their life

Interfacing with C
Author: Howard Hutchings
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080574351
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Interfacing with C is about interfacing personal computers using C. Anyone who is interested in ports, transducer interfacing, analog to digital conversion, convolution, filters or digital/analog conversion will benefit from reading Interfacing with C. Students will also find this a practical introduction to real-time programming with a generous collection of tried and tested programs.The pace of the book is such that the reader is encouraged to run the programs and experiment with C. The principles precede the applications in most cases in an attempt to provide genuine understanding and encourage further development. Readers will gain much from the hands-on experience the authors' approach provides, an approach designed to enable readers to climb steep learning curves with the minimum amount of assistance. The many programs included in the text provide the essential hands-on experience. Some of the programs inevitably become rather lengthy, so the source code used is available as a free download from the Newnes website. The aim of the book, however, is to give the reader enough confidence to rewrite and improve these programs.In the second edition Mike James has thoroughly updated all aspects relating to software, operating systems and graphical interfaces. He has also increased the scope of the book to include current forms of C++. Material on data acquisition has been thoroughly updated and the section on peripherals increased. - A practical and painless way of becoming an expert C programmer - New edition also covers C++ and the Windows environment - Get up to speed with the essential maths needed for C without having to buy a university maths text!

Beginning Ada Programming
Author: Andrew T. Shvets
Publisher: Apress
ISBN: 1484254287
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Discover the Ada programming language by being gently guided through the various parts of the language and its latest available stable release. The goal in this book is to slowly ease you into the different topics. It is understood that you do not always have ample free time, so the text is easy to digest and concepts are spoon fed to the reader. Starting with the simplest of topics, detailed explanations demonstrate the how and why of Ada. You are strongly encouraged to experiment and break things (without which the learning process is linear and quite dull). At the end of Beginning Ada Programming, you will have an excellent understanding of the general topics that make up the Ada programming language and can tackle far more challenging topics. Each chapter builds on what was previously described. Furthermore, each code example is independent of others and will run all by itself. Instructions are provided where you can obtain an Ada compiler and how to debug your code. What You Will Learn Master basic types, control structures, procedures, and functions in AdaUse Ada arrays, records, and access typesImplement OO programming using AdaHandle the basics of I/O and interfacing with the operating systemTake advantage of string operators, data containers, multiprocessing with tasks, and moreWork with contracts and proofs, networks, and various Ada libraries Who This Book Is For Programmers who are new to Ada, with at least some experience in programming, especially scientific programming.
