Specifically, I'm looking for tutorials that offer alot of sample code and practice excercises. It doesnt have to be some dumbed down spoon fed fiasco, since I'm already familiar with Perl, Python, C, x86 ASM, and Java. However, I learn better when I have sample code available to work with. Naturally, there is plenty of source available online, but my skills are negligable at this point, hence most of the code usually ends up looking more like gibberish to me.(I am able to disern what the code does and some of the details of it's implementation, but most of the finer points of semantics and such are lost on me.) With that said, I am really excited about learning Ada95(specifically on Linux 2.2.17 with Xfree4.01 on an AMD K6-3 processor) and will gladly hobble along with free source until I reach a point that I can make heads and tails out of it, but I'd rather not if it's unnecessary. A good book is next on my list, as soon as I have some cash to spare. Or, if someone is interested, I would gladly exchange something for a bit of mentoring online. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (Note: Although I can get around computer systems rather quickly with some effort, I'm not a hacker/guru by any stretch of the imagination. Hopefully that will be remedied shortly. Heh.) Thanks Chris chainsaw two thousand at nospam dot home dot com
