1st: Nobody types links. They are just copied.

2nd and more important: You are not the only one to ask theese
questions. That is why most news groups have FAQs. And some of them
post them every month in the vain hope that there are read.

We here have - among others -
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming. Quite often I create a
new article on the wiki and then post a link as answer. Because I know
I will need that answer again next month - or next school term - for
some other Ada beginner which will ask the same question again.

Don't get me wrong: I don't mind answering. And I know that beginners
often don't even know what search term they need to get the right
answer. It had been the same for me.
