Xref: archiver1.google.com comp.lang.ada:41140 Date: 2003-08-02T11:06:37+01:00 List-Id: Hi, I am wanting to change careers, I currently work in the games industry and want to go embedded/realtime. Now, I still have my university books (Ada-based) and I would like to get back into Ada programming, but I am looking for a smallish project that I can develop to prove to myself and to prospective employers that I am serious - it'll also help me to decide whether this is what I really want to do. Basically, the project must be doable by one person *and* (I think that this is the most important part) I would prefer to have a specification similar (or same) to that which I would use in the real world. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance, Luke. P.S: I the UK, I know that Ada isn't used much (except for the military - which is something I wouldn't even consider doing anyway), but I like the language ;-P
