Were you a hobbyist when you learned Ada? Did many > people attend formal training? I started learning ada a few months ago. I'm expert in C/C++, Bourne Shell and PHP for my work and am gook skilled in Java and Python. I was searching about something new to learn and that I could apply in a part of my professional job. So I'm right now learning Ada creating a Web application to manage some qualified contacts of a call center. So I'm half a hobbyist, half a professional since I could do the job in less than 2 weeks using PHP. My main purpose now is o create some kind of library in order to be able to develop in Ada as fast as I am in other languages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Cygwin) iD8DBQFIR6/D+zV9xm4PlDQRAr1vAJ9g03vltmjO4oKPPM6djH4LGqTwTgCgkkLw KdXqae3f+iXq2kzbTl1KEFA= =q1Eh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
