Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language based on Pascal. It was originally designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull under contract to the United States Department of Defense during 1977–1983 to supersede the hundreds of programming languages then used by the US Department of Defense (DoD). Ada is strongly typed and compilers are validated for reliability in mission-critical applications, such as avionics software. Ada is an international standard; the current version (known as Ada 2005) is defined by joint ISO/ANSI standard (ISO-8652:1995), combined with major Amendment ISO/IEC 8652:1995/Amd 1:2007.

Ada was named after Ada Lovelace (1815–1852), who is often credited as being the first computer programmer. Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_%28programming_language%29)

      Ada Programming - Wikibook

      Welcome to the Ada Programming tutorial at Wikibooks. This is the first Ada tutorial covering the Ada 2005 standard. If you are a beginner you will learn the latest standard - if you are a seasoned Ada user you can see what's new. Current Development Stage for Ada Programming is ' (Jul 27, 2005)'. At this date, there are more than 200 pages in this book, which makes Ada Programming the largest of the programming wikibooks[1]. But still...

      Embedded Application Development from Telelogic

      Telelogic Rhapsody&174; is the leading Model Driven Development environment for embedded, real-time or technical systems. Rhapsody allows developers to capture the design using standard graphical models. These designs can then be simulated to ensure proper functionality and code can be generated reducing development time.

Mark Twain quote for the day:

Would it not be prudent to get our civilization tools together, and see how much stock is left on hand in the way of Glass Beads and Theology, and Maxim Guns and Hymn Books, and Trade Gin and Torches of Progress and Enlightenment (patent adjustable ones, good to fire villages with, upon occasion), and balance the books, and arrive at the profit and loss, so that we may intelligently decide whether to continue the business or sellout the property and start a new Civilization Scheme on the proceeds.
