Ada in the Trade Press

[Paul Pukite]

Magnus, would this be a useful item for the Ada WWW server?

_/_/   List of Ada Articles in Trade Magazines  _/_/
_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
 
I have compiled the following list of Ada articles that have 
appeared over the last four years in various trade magazines.
I included software, engineering, and computing magazines that
people casually read (note I did not include academic journals).
 
As far as I can tell, certain publications have historically lacked 
Ada articles (all networking magazines and many PC-oriented magazines), 
while others (Embedded Systems Programming, etc) tend to accept 
articles regularly. Overall, I haven't seen too many articles this year.
 
I am not sure how big this list will grow, but if anyone wants to add 
to it, please send me the reference. (I could not find references to 
trade papers in the AdaIC archives more recent than 1991.)

As far as I know, Magnus is at the "Ada in Europe" symposium in Denmark
until the end of the week.  In anticipation of his return, I've made a
HTML-version of Paul's list available on our WWW server:

  http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~dirk/ada-press.html

For those interested, feel free to browse other Ada related info on our
server at:

Well, I just checked through the window.  Couldn't see any little
mermaid.  Just mountains, cows, banks, and chocolate.  So I must
still be in Switzerland :-)

Paul's list had already been (silently) added to the Ada WWW Server,
in the section on Ada-related books and articles.  The URL is
