Design_Patterns for Ada?

Design_Patterns for Ada?

Folks,

I'm considering taking an in-house course on "Design Patterns".  It's
based on the book:
  Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
  Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides
  Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series, 1995
  416 pages ISBN 0-201-63361-2

a) I need advice:  is this concept of any value to a guy who
   refuses (or is too old) to learn C++ ?

b) I need code:
   I'm having troubles decoding the examples because I don't
   understand the intricacies of C++.

   I'm looking for a set of Ada95 code snippets that correspond to
   the existing code segments.

   Where can I get such a thing?

Thanks,
Mars Gralia, D.Sc.
Applied Physics Laboratory

At the SIGAda home page:

http://www.acm.org/sigada/wg/patterns/

I wrote up many of the examples in the book in Ada 95; I finished almost
half the book.  I've been inactive for a while (I took a detour to learn
predicate calculus), but will be returning to it shortly.  Let me know if
you have any questions or comments.
