LGS is a small company whose primary product is the "Alice" system - an interactive programming environment based on a syntax-directed editor. (Syntax-directed editors are editors that work with programs as programs, using units like variables, statements, expressions and routines instead of the line and character units of text editors. They provide help and make syntax errors impossible. This one also detects all semantic errors at entry time and includes an integrated interpreter/debugger) Alice has been chosen by the Ministry of Education to teach programming in Ontario secondary schools. It is thus designed for teaching, with large volumes of on-line help to make programming (and the system) easy to learn and do. The system is also being developed for sale on popular 16 bit microcomputers. It makes use of windows and pointing devices to produce a nice user interface. Alice will change the way the world learns to program. If you would like to participate in this project, give me a call. I'm looking for somebody with experience in language systems and compilers. We do all our work on Unix, in C. No fixed hours, but plenty of challenging stuff to do. Salary up to $36K based on experience, with additional juicy profit sharing to entice you in. People graduating this term will be considered, as well as those available now or in the near future. I'm Brad Templeton - call me at 519/884-7473. The company is located in downtown Waterloo. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
