I'man author and editor ofSoftwareInspection: An Industry Best Practice byDavid A. Wheeler, Bill Brykczynski, and Reginald N. Meeson, Jr..This book, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press,describes the software inspection processand includes a number of papers on the topic, including results frommany different users of the process.This book is listed in the "Best Sellers" categoryin the IEEE Computer Society "New Releases" Fall 1996 catalog.It is ISBN 0-8186-7340-0,IEEE Catalog Number BP07340, and Library of Congress Number 95-41054.You can order this book from the IEEE by emailing to cs.books@computer.org,calling U.S. (714) 821-8380, or faxing to U.S. (714) 821-4641.Youcan find more information about the book from the IEEE. Another book of mine isAda 95: The Lovelace Tutorialby David A. Wheeler,now available as a hardcover book.The publisher is Springer-Verlag and itsISBN number is 0-387-948-01-5.The book is about 292 pages long and was published in 1997.This book is a tutorial on the Ada95 computer programming language;it assumes you know some other computer programming language.You can order this book by calling Springer-Verlag;in the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico call (800) 777-4643;otherwise call their Berlin, Germany office at 49 30 827 870.More information is available on howto order this book.Items I've developed that are available on the Internet are generallyAda-related or WWW-related, including:Lovelace(a free Ada 95 tutorial),Mklesson(a free WWW tutorial generator),Package CGI(an Ada 95 binding to a WWW server),ProgramSmall (a demo Ada 95 program)Ada2html(a tool that transforms Ada 95 source code into HTML documents).What Do I Know?I work to keep up with many computing technologies. My areas ofknowledge include:Web Technologies (HTML, HTTP, TCP/IP, CGI, Java Virtual Machine)Defect Detection Techniques (Inspections, Testing Techniques, Software Fault Tree Analysis)CASE Tools and Methods (Rational Rose, Software Through Pictures, Cadre Teamwork, ObjecTime; Unified Modeling Language, OMT, Booch, ROOM, and many others)Programming Languages (Java, Ada, C, C++, Perl, Pascal, LISP, Forth, various assembly langauges, and many others)Infrastructure (DCE, CORBA, POSIX, Windows)Process Improvement (SEI CMM)WarningThere's another person on the Internet namedDavid Weller whoresponsible for the Ada 95 Booch components.We're not the same person!"David Wheeler" is a somewhat common name anyway, soI always use my middle initial (A.) in widely-distributed materialin an effort to reduce confusion.From here you may see:a list of my publicationsa more detailed version of myprofessional historymy Lovelace tutorialinformation about my bookAda 95: The Lovelace Tutorialinformation aboutSoftwareInspection: An Industry Best PracticeYou may be viewing an older copy of this document.Feel free toviewthe up-to-date master version of this document.David A.
