New Spark/Ada Blog

Hi all,

A new Spark/Ada blog (by me)

Only just started, so not much there, yet: it's focus will be developing commercial applications (ie competing with C# etc) 

Feel free to pop over and take a look

Cheers,

Mark

Nice!

I'm very, very new to Ada, but I've just recently picked up an interest for it. I'm always on the lookout for "new" (to me) programming languages, but it's quite much just window shopping. But this time, I think I've come across with something that I'd actually like to learn. Seems that your blog will be something that I'll keep my eyes on! :)

Hi Henrik,

If you are new to Ada and want to learn it, be sure to also have a look

Hi!

Alright, looks good, thanks! Also if you have good tips on paper books, I'd be interested in hearing which one would be good. There seems to be this Ada 2012, although quite expensive.

Are you speaking about this one "Programming in Ada 2012" from John
Barnes? Expensive yes, but a very good book to start with Ada 2012.

Hi,

I think my blog may make too many assumptions for someone starting out with Ada programming. Of course, I'll help where I can, and ideas to blog about are most welcome.

John Barnes' books are a definite must-have book for starting out in Ada. Also important books are 'Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada' and 'Building High Integrity Applications with Spark'

You can find them, here ...

Programming in Ada 2012: John Barnes:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/programming-in-ada-2012/55B998B4E908A017E4D74A87364FF224

Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada: McCormick, Singhoff, and Hugues
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Building-Parallel-Embedded-Real-Time-Applications/dp/0521197163

Building High Integrity Applications with Spark: McCormick, Chapin
https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/building-high-integrity-applications-with-spark/F213D9867D2E271F5FF3EDA765D48E95

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks Pascal and Mark for the suggestions! I think Barnes' Ada 2012 will be the one I'll get, if I decide to go with a paperback. If, at some distant point in the future, I'll get serious about Ada professionally, then those other books might provide good value too.

And no pressure Mark, I think I now start to have good learning references and your blog will be an interesting add-on to the process. :)
