20 Oct 2024 - The Last Few Years of Updates

Thank you to the people that have written to me especially to suggest corrections and improvements. Björn Lundin kindly suggested nice ways to exit loops which I have used on the page WHY ADA? > THE GOOD (scroll down when you get there) and also corrected me on HOW IN ADA? > ARRAYS

There is also a new section on writing Ada using Geany instead of GNAT Studio just in case you were looking for an alternative. You can find that all here on PROGRAMMING > GNAT GEANY. notably Geany is the recommended IDE of the Raspberry Pi. I transferred my large project across and it compiled even if it took three times as long as on my Intel I5.

28 Jun 2021 - The Programming Pages Updated

Because a friend with no programming background got interested in Ada I have done a very brief introduction to what Programming is and where it came from.

A separate "Starting GNAT" page has been added for Linux, Mac and Windows though the Windows pages are not written yet, with one general Starting GNAT page linking to all three. Also since the tutorials here are more about how to install the programming tools and how to organise a large Ada projects rather than the Ada language, In the Starting GNAT page, I have added links to pages for the Ada language it's self to be used together with the AdaWorks pages so you can learn the language at the same time as learning how to compile and run the language on your own computer.

I also tidied up the links to other resources on the programming Resources page.

7 Jun 2021 - How in Ada and Articles

Reorganised everything but also added the menu item How In Ada? and added Articles with things I find interesting.

I hope to find out more on embeded Ada for next time.

27 Jan 2021 - Corrections

Words added at the end of 'Become an 'sudoer"' section "RESTART the computer to bring the changes into effect".

Form removed in footer of all pages.

21 Jan 2021 - Completed "Start in GNAT Studio"

Initially GNAT Studio would not install, crashing out half way through. Eventually I discovered it was necessary to install GNAT first! The text of the page has been modified accordingly.

1 Dec 2020 - AdaWorks.it website launched

After some days of tidying up to achieve a minimally useful website, we finally go live. Served from a web-server named "Tom Kitten" that is entirely written in Ada. However we look forward to completing instructions for installing AdaCore's GNAT Studio as soon as possible.
