Some questions from a beginner to you (A#)

[Gregor Kopp <gk@cutcopy.com>]

Hi,

i'm a beginner to Ada, and after learning a little bit with gnat 3.15p I 
desided to look about some alternatives, just to learn more and to see 
whats possible.

There is Ada for the net Framework [1] wich looks really interesting, 
because with that I think I have a chance to learn about 2 technologies 
the same time. Do you know if the integration into the Visual Studio 
works for the "Express Editions" too? I do not have the money to buy a 
300 european bucks software (Standard Edition of Visual Studio).

The problem that I have too is, that all links I try to click on that 
site ([1]) seems to be broken. I always get an annoying site (or file) 
not found error.

If you used A# before, can you tell me something about it? Did you some 
great software with it? Is the handling of A# in adagide good, or with 
Visual Studio -> is it possible to use all .NET classes?

I would like to learn more about that thing, but I didn't find any board 
or usergroup or something else except of this group in the wide net.

Thanks alot for reading this,

Gregor Kopp
