A First Guide to PostScript by Peter Weingartner

Book Abstract:
This is meant to be a simple introduction to programming in the PostScript page description language from Adobe. This document is not meant to be a comprehensive reference manual (although it does contain an index of some of PostScript’s standard operators and a list of various errors). There are far better reference books, if this is what you need. Instead, this is meant as an easily accessible on-line tutorial. It was written with the assumption that you have some experience programming and are familiar with concepts like arrays and variables.

Object Oriented Software in Ada

Preface:

This book is aimed at students and programmers who wish to learn the object-oriented language Ada 95. The book illustrates the language by showing how programs can be written using an object-oriented approach. The book treats Ada 95 as a language in its own right and not just as an extension to Ada 83.
The first chapter provides an introduction to problem solving using an object-oriented design methodology.The methodology illustrated in this introductory chapter is based on Fusion.
The next three chapters concentrate on the basic constructs in the Ada 95 language. In particular the use of types and subtypes is encouraged. By using types and subtypes in a program the compiler can help spot many errors and inconsistencies at compile-time rather than run-time.
