My first programming class in college was in ADA and I found it very difficult to learn because of the lack of documentation and help aids for the language. That forced me to rely on my Professor for help which unfortunately was like pulling teeth. The lack of being able to obtain outside sources from my local computer store ie : "ADA for Dummies" left me with a feeling of complete frustration while I spent the semester copying and reediting code from my fellow struggling classmates in order to pass the course. However, struggling with ADA did give me an appreciation for the process of writing source code, and I have found that the fundamentals that I learned with ADA are applicable to me as I learn C++. <-- By the way this time I am writing my own code), >John Black wrote in message <345673af.1413708@news.mindspring.com>... >>ADA and Pascal are two of the most useless inventions Man has ever >>wasted space on this planet with. These languages are hard to learn,
