On the job side, I brought Ada to the job. If you train a few backups (to mitigate the key-person issue) and as long as users are happy (especially to have a reliable and fast in-house software that is not crashing all day), it is possible. Inbetween, Modula-2 and FORTRAN at the University for programming course and numerics respectively. _________________________ Gautier's Ada programming http://www.openhub.net/accounts/gautier_bd
