Object-oriented technology is universally acknowledged as having the
greatest impact on improving productivity of application developers
today, but one thing has kept it from being rapidly adopted -- a severe
shortage of object-oriented skills. We share your interest in educating
students in this rapidly emerging technology and understand that tight
budgets reduce your ability to invest in the newest tools. To make it
easier, IBM would like to offer you our latest award-winning
object-oriented development tools and supporting products --at no
charge to your institution!. As long as you agree to use the software for
instructional purposes, and you can make as many copies of the products
as you would like and students may borrow copies for use on their own
computers.
Included in our IBM Objects on Campus CD-ROM are award-winning
object-oriented tools like
VisualAge
IBM Smalltalk
SOMobjects
and supporting products such as
Workstation Interactive Test Tool
Database 2 for OS/2
Distributed Database Connection Services for OS/2.
Also available at no charge is a copy of
OS/2 Warp
for use with these products
In addition, we have included softcopies of three IBM International
Technical Support Center redbooks that include valuable information on
object-oriented application development that you may use in your
curriculum.
