Paul Williamson writes : I agree fully with Bob and Ken , SPC guide is a must have/must follow : guide to such things. : : In over 6 years of working in and around Ada, : I have found very few times this guide failed to : provide a terrific guide, it is well planned with the : rationale for each rule also well documented. A bit more on the usefullness of the AQ&S, all the rationales provided are a great deal of information, and not only for Ada. I think that the reading (or browsing, see AJPO site, the document itself is freely available) of the AQ&S should come really soon in the process of learning Ada, at least to give some good reference on portability/performance/comments, and as a guide on how to use the features of Ada 95. Completing the Lovelace tutorial plus some experience in programming are enough to have a useful reading of the Ada Quality & Style Guide. -- -- Laurent Guerby, student at Telecom Bretagne (France), Team Ada. -- "Use the Source, Luke.
