Hi. I Have heard about Ada, but I know nothing about it.
I am sure this has been asked by most other "newbies" here but I will
continue the trend :)
I would like 2 things if someone could help me out.
First is ... is there a FAQ for this group?
Second is... Where can I find a compiler/envirment for this language and
maybe some links to some programing help with the language?
I have a windows xp system but I also have FC3 Linux.
Thanks for your help
Randy

That's why we have prepared answers before - just follow the links
below ;-) .

Poke around at the following sites as well:
http://www.adapower.com/
http://www.adaworld.com/
They've got links to lots of interesting stuff for newbies & experienced
developers.
For an Ada compiler (and other useful tools) at no cost for either Linux
or Windows, see:
http://libre.act-europe.fr/
Specific tools they have that make a good development environment are:
http://libre.act-europe.fr/GNAT/ -- Compiler
http://libre.act-europe.fr/GtkAda/ -- GUI Builder
http://libre.act-europe.fr/gps/ -- Gnat Programming System (IDE)
The above stuff makes a good starter kit for someone wanting to learn
Ada. There are other tools as well, but it depends on your app of
interest. Other compilers and toolsets are available from a number of
places either with freebie-starter-editions or low cost personal
editions. If you need something for a full-up, serious, industrial
strength application, there are places that can charge you lots of money
for supported, high-end compilers and tools as well. The AdaPower
website has links to most of the vendors somewhere.
Good luck!
