I'm interested in using Ada, so I installed the GNAT compiler on
Windows (tried on Mac, but I had problems with X11). Anyway, I want to
dive in head-first, and my main question is how do you guys write
programs with GUIs? Do you use the gdk toolkit primarily? Also, the
application I eventually have in mind is for automated control of a
microscope, so I need to be able to interface with drivers/serial
ports/firewire/etc. Do you have any advice for me to help me along?
Thanks! Looks like a nice newsgroup to visit.
