ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The author of this tutorial began programming in 1961 using FORTRAN on an IBM 1620. Since then, most of his career has been involved with designing digital logic for satellite application. In 1983, being somewhat burned out with logic design, he began a study of some of the more modern programming languages and has since made a complete career shift to software development. After learning Pascal, C was studied, followed by Modula-2 and Ada, and more recently C++. Rather than simply learning the syntax of each new language, modern methods of software engineering were studied and applied to effectively utilize the languages. He is currently employed by a large research and development laboratory where he continues to study, teach, and apply the newer programming languages.
