Hi,
I am interested in learning Ada 95. Could you please recommend:
1) A starter's book for a programmer with solid experience in programming
with many other languages. Basically I do not want a book that teaches what
recursion is etc. Also it would be better if it directly gets into practical
applications with OO paradigm, without talking about what OO is.
2) A compiler for Windows NT, with a dedicated IDE. Free or commercial
doesn't matter. Free would be better, but if the compiler and the IDE are
developed by different people, or companies, I really do not want to go
through the hell of configuring a generic IDE to run externally a compiler,
and its debugger.
Also, can we say that Ada is an allround language, or is it targeted for a
specific field?
Are the libraries provided with Ada portable across several platforms, is
there a Standard library for Ada?
How would you compare its performance to C++? (without biasing it with your
love for Ada)
Thanks in advance
