ADA 83 TUTORIAL
This tutorial teaches the entire Ada 83 dialect of the Ada language. It is composed of 31 chapters which should be studied in order since topics are introduced in a logical order and build upon topics introduced in previous chapters. It is to the students benefit to download the source code for the example programs, then compile and execute each program as it is studied. The diligent student will then modify the example program in some way, then recompile and execute it to see if he understands the material studied for that program. This will provide the student with valuable experience with his compiler.
The recommended method of study is to print the text for one or two chapters, download the example programs, and study the material by loading the example programs in the compiler's editor for viewing. Following successful completion of each chapter additional chapters can be downloaded as progress is made.
Note that completion of the first part of this tutorial will give the student the ability to write very significant programs in Ada, but completion of the second part will give the student the ability to use all of the capabilities of Ada.
