Re: How many Ada programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

Good point, Marc. We ought to be patient with the newbies as we were all
once newbies ourselves - and it helps make Ada a better experience for the
newbies if we can be as helpful as possible.

In case nobody else mentions it, the best place to start looking for
resources relating to Ada programming is: http://www.adapower.com/ You can
find books, compilers, tutorials, source code, important links, etc there
that will help you get started with Ada. Generally, you can find help with
specific programming problems here so long as you are not trying to get
someone to do your homework and you post a question that is specific enough
to be readily addressed. (A small code example, the software/hardware
platform you're working with, the compiler/version you're using, etc.)

Good luck!
