Instructional Support
The following items are available to assist course instructors:
Languages, Libraries, and Tools
The MPD programming language
enables students to write programs using a syntax
that is very similar to the one used in the book.
MPD is essentially an alternative syntax for SR.
See the MPD Web site for details on the language---including a tutorial with
lots of examples---and information on how to download and install
the implementation.
There is also a page that contains links to information on the
languages, libraries, and tools
described in the book as well as a few newer ones.
