At this point, I wonder if there are some good online tutorials which
cover the basic Ada concepts which we could point Stribor40 to ?

I'm thinking maybe something which _isn't_ a full book length but
manages to cover the basic Ada concepts in a coherent manner and links
them all together.

The kind of thing I'm thinking of is maybe something like Ada Distilled.

Any comments ?

Simon.
