[GAP] New Edition of Ada Plus Data Structures

[Carlisle Martin C Dr USAFA/DFCS]

John,

I think we should skip 9X and aim for 0Y, using as many features as are
available.  To wit, things like object.method and interfaces.  Generics
are still important, but both interfaces and generics should be shown.
I'll be happy to help review code in the absence of a working compiler
(I'd assume the compiler would be available from ACT by the time the
textbook is actually published).

Another thing to consider is if ACT would allow GAP to be included on a
CD in the back?

--Martin

Subject: [GAP] New Edition of Ada Plus Data Structures

I am happy to announce that my publisher, Jones and Bartlett, still
considers the Ada textbook market profitable.  This summer I will be
working on the 2nd edition of my CS2 textbook "Ada Plus Data
Structures".  The first edition was published by DC Heath just at the
time that they were sold to Jones and Bartlett.

While mention was made of Ada 9X, all of the example code in the 1st
edition is Ada 83.  So I have a lot of work to do to bring this text up
to date.  With the manuscript due at the end of the summer, I'm on a
tight schedule.  So now is the time for those of you who have used this
book (or rejected its use) to let me know what changes/additions you
would like to see in the second edition.

John
