Metrowerks Targets Educators, Students and Beginner Programmers with 
Latest Version of CodeWarrior(tm) Tools Designed for Learning

CodeWarrior(tm) Learning Edition v3 Makes C/C++ and Java(tm) Programming 
Easy on Windows and Mac OS Platforms

AUSTIN, Texas - July 8, 2002 - Metrowerks is helping make computer 
programming easier to learn with the newest version of its educational 
tool, CodeWarrior(tm) Learning Edition v3.  A simplified version of the 
industry standard CodeWarrior tool suite used by professional 
developers, Learning Edition v3 is designed specifically for students 
and anyone else wanting to learn computer programming in C/C++ or Java 
for Windows or Macintosh platforms.

New in this version are features designed to make the learning process 
even more enjoyable, such as Java Rapid Application Development (RAD) 
tools, which allow the user to write less code, and Code Completion for 
C/C++ and Java, which helps the user write code more quickly, without 
stopping to look up hard-to-remember functions and symbols.

"The CodeWarrior Learning Edition product underscores our commitment to 
helping people develop the computer programming skills they need to be 
successful," said John Smolucha, vice president of marketing, 
Metrowerks.  "Just as we continually seek to improve our professional 
development tools, we've added functionality to our Learning Edition 
product to make it easier than ever for people to learn how to program."

Also new in version 3 are Java Power Tools from Northeastern University, 
which enable the rapid development of Java-based graphical user 
interfaces (GUIs) with automatic error checking of user input.  Java 
Power Tools make it possible for simple GUIs to be built in a matter of 
minutes, and large GUIs to be created in about an hour. 

"The CodeWarrior development environment is so well designed that it's 
easy for students in an academic setting to use," said Richard Rasala, 
associate dean for Undergraduate Education at Northeastern University.  
"Metrowerks offers an elegant IDE for Java, C++, and C on multiple 
operating systems and target platforms.   Beginning students can work 
easily on simple projects while advanced students have access to all of 
the support for object-oriented programming that one would expect in a 
professional environment.  The CodeWarrior Learning Edition provides 
tools and examples that are specifically aimed at students and that will 
speed their learning."

To further shorten the learning curve, Metrowerks includes with the 
product a voice-over multimedia tutorial that provides a step-by-step 
walk-through of the CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment 
(IDE).  The tutorial allows the user to focus on learning how to write 
code, rather than learning how to use the tools.  The product also 
features a streamlined version of the CodeWarrior IDE, with a toolbar 
that can be customized to fit the user's needs, as well as simplified 
documentation written with the beginner in mind.

CodeWarrior Learning Edition also includes the popular Carnegie Mellon 
University Graphics package, allowing users to add geometric shapes and 
graphic images to the projects they create.

Metrowerks' line of CodeWarrior software development tools have been 
selected by more than 1,200 top schools and universities in the United 
States, Canada and Europe to teach their students how to write software 
programs.

Special Advanced Placement Module
For educators and students, CodeWarrior Learning Edition v3 includes a 
special Advanced Placement (AP) Module designed to help high school 
students prepare for the Computer Science AP Exam.  The module includes 
the latest Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science classes, AP project 
templates, and the latest beta of the Marine Biology Case Study.
