Ada* Style Manual Copyright 1983 Intellimac, Inc. 6001 Montrose Road Rockville, Maryland 20852 It's more like a couple of sheets of paper, but it covers the importance of consistent style across a project team. Topics are 1. Identifiers, 2. Identation and aliignment, 3. Comments 4. Capitalization, 5. Highlighting, 6. Spacing, 7. Global variables, and 8. Use clauses. The second edition includes revisions based on comments from readers and users of the first edition. Please drop me a note if you find there is a third edition by now. Soon you'll be coding identifiers like: Console_Input_Vector_To_Terminal_Driver_P{ackage The other guide is Studies in Ada Style Second Edition, Jan. 1983 Peter Hibbard, Andy Hisgen, Jonathan Rosenberg, Mary Shaw, Mark Sherman Dept. of CS, CMU, Schenley Park, Pittsburg PA 15213 Copyright 1983 by Springer-Verlag New York Inc. This is a meater guide which discusses the impact of abstraction concerns on modern languages and studies example Ada* programs. I believe one can call Intellimac directly for their guide, but I can't remeber for the life of me how I obtain the second one by the folks at CMU.
