However I'm wondering if anyone has done something similiar on "How to think like a Computer Engineer." Or something like it. It seems that something like this would be a great way to introduce Ada to budding software engineering hopefuls or hackers. I'd take a shot at it myself, but I dont know nearly enough to speak authoritatively on the subject. I'd basically be talking out of my ass. Perhaps even taking some of the code examples presented in the CS book above and translating them to Ada could be a useful first start. Any opinions or ideas? Freejack
