Hi,

resources) (see question # 3)

Hello Carles,

Would like to suggest these :

Frecnch tutorial only - Cours Ada fait à l'IUT d'Aix-En-Provence (fr)
-> https://libre2.adacore.com/french_courses/main.html

Introducing Ada - my favorite overview of Ada (at AdaIC)
-> http://www.adaic.org/whyada/intro.html#contents

From Coronado Enterprises - Last update, February 1, 1998
-> http://www.infres.enst.fr/~pautet/Ada95/a95list.htm

Ada 95: The Craft of Object-Oriented Programming
-> http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/

The very famous so called "Lovelace" tutorial (has moved from time to
time)
-> http://www.adahome.com/Tutorials/Lovelace/lovelace.htm

Have a nice day Carles, & happy designing :)

While on the topic of *online* tutorials, do any pdf's for
"Programming in Ada 2005" by Barnes or "Concurrent and real-time
programming in Ada" by Burns and Wellings exist? Carrying them both
around in my backpack is kinda unacceptable :).

The latter exists for sure, but paper versions are better!

For a brief tutorial on Ada 05 programming, which is still very much under
developement, see the Crash Course by Peter C. Chapin:

http://vortex.ecet.vtc.edu/pcc/AdaCrash.pdf

The tutorials below, sugessted by Hibou57, seem to deal with Ada 95, only.
(I did not look at the content of the french course.)

Yes Stefan, you are right. But it is worth to say that for most of
case, Ada2005 is somewhat similar to Ada95. There is not so much
change from Ada95 to Ada2005 as there was from Ada85 to Ada95.

For an overview of the differences, one may have a look at the Ada2005
rationale of changes, and first have a look at the overview contained
in this rationale :
-> http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rat/html/Rat-1-3.html

Ada95 was just needed a consolidation, not deep changes, thus Ada2005
is rather a confirmation of what was Ada95.

Thanks for your interesting comment any way :)

I think it is the best one - not because I am one of the authors - but
because I am only one of the authors.

And it is the only tutorial in active development. The others are rather
static and getting old.

General point: check the links at:
http://www.adaic.org/learn/index.html

Especially check out the textbooks page, many have on-line versions.

One that hasn't been mentioned is Ada Distilled:

The AdaIC site also has a copy of "Craft":

As we all know, AdaHome is completely dead; it is best to link to the *real*
home of the Lovelace tutorial, David Wheeler's web site:

From one of the previously document from AdaIC, I look like to point a
special point addressed in this document :
-> http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rat/html/Rat-1-3-2.html

Chance is that this will be one of the biggest difference for a lot of
people, and this also especially important for beginners, beceause the
uniformaty of the new syntax allowed by Ada2005 will probably help a
better acceptence of Ada.

I would just like to say that in my humble opinion, using named access
type every where (and think to define them as soon as candidate to
access are defined) is probably a good idea.

A named access type can give more expressiveness than anonymous access
type (when named, you can give it a name which better express the
purpose than a generic designation of the semantic).
