Sample code resources / Ada cookbook

Sample code resources / Ada cookbook

[Dufr]

Hi

I am looking for good resources containing Ada sample code useful for a learner.
Of course, there are many Ada tutorials and manuals around, but what I am looking for is specifically an Ada 'cookbook' containing simple Ada programs and code snippets, possibly with comments.
The closest thing to an Ada cookbook that I found is the excellent Rosetta Code website, which has hundreds of small Ada programs.
Is there any other such printed / online resource containing a similar collection of code samples?

Thanks

Duf

That may be what you want:
http://www.adaic.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ada-Distilled-24-January-2011-Ada-2005-Version.pdf

Cons: does not cover Ada 2012, but you will quicly learn what  
pre/post/predicate are.

I think Rosetta is going to be about the best you're going to do for a 'cookbook' -- but there is something to watch out for there: the small nature of the entries means that [relatively] you won't get a lot of familiarity with managing large systems (packages).

There are some old [Ada95] software libraries/packages/examples on adapower.com. You should also look at some of the libraries in the recent library thread.

Lastly I wrote a sort of introduction/sniplit-example for Ada 2012 [and Streams] over here:

There are a number of libraries available as source that could be instructive 
reading. I recommend the PragmAda Reusable Components available from

pragmada.x10hosting.com

Also available there is the source to the Mine Detector game, a complete, 
non-trivial program.

Speaking of which, are there (free) Ada 2012 tutorials on the way?

Ada 2012 Distilled would be nice!!

I would point you towards the Ada Denmark website (google it) . And recently magpi an online magazine for the raspberry pi.
