I am familiar with programming and i am totally new to Ada and since my job=
 is not programmer job i am trying to learn new things and therefore Ada ca=
me to mind because i heard about it. I find it quite challenging and even s=
ome simple things i could do in php ada compiler would scream about it. Thi=
s group has been very help full as well. I read different things and tutori=
als about ada but usually when i am really stuck or need advice i would com=
e to this group which has been great.
