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!
