Ada - "JUST THE THING FOR TACKLING THE WINDOWS APL"
The February 1995 issue of "Software Development" magazine features an article on how to use Ada to develop Window applications. In the article, Paul Pukite writes, "It should come as no surprise that large, well-integrated, reliable, maintainable, and reusable Ada applications can be developed for Windows. The development process becomes more manageable and less obscure by using standard Ada constructs such as package specifications, generics, tasking, and exceptions."
"Software Development" is available for sale at technical bookstores or from the publisher, Miller-Freeman (Phone: 800/829-5537).
