I got curious about Ada (less than 1 year ago) by reading an article
on a
computer magazine. I googled a little bit and found some tutorials.
Succesively, I started using Ada in some medium-complexity
projects (that I already developed in other languages) by keeping
the RM at hand.

Currently I can say that I feel confident with the basic stuff, but I
do
not consider myself an expert (even discarding the part that I just
skimmed
through such as Annex D and E).

More or less the same path was followed by a student of mine when
he started working on his final project with me...
