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 current-
ly employed by a large research and development laboratory
where he continues to study, teach, and apply the newer
programming languages.
