Note that for the list of environments, except GNAT on Win32 and Linux and ObjectAda (free edition) on Win32, I did not do the tests myself. It is feedbacks from users, including a compiler vendor!

I think it could be interesting and useful. Hi,

I think maybe Jacob had a serious case of FOSDEM-hangovers ;-) Indeed.

You get to see the commands actually carried out. But yea, most of the time videos are probably best used for more "talk" style articles, for example a short talk about Ada tasking, followed up with some actual usage examples. I think that could work pretty well. I did a few videos for this post:

Andersen Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:19:34 +0000 http://ada-dk.org/?p=1441#comment-36 I was thinking about creating small educational videos about Ada and building gadgets with microcontrollers just a few days ago. - But my second thought was why video? Isn't a web page with commands you can copy to the clip-board better than a video you have to pause and type from? There must be some benefits from using video as a medium to teach Ada programming, but what are they, and how can we exploit them best?

John Barnes is an excellent writer, and his Ada 2005 book is awesome. Another great book is "Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada" by John W. McCormick, Frank Singhoff and Jérôme Hugues. Those three guys have an excellent way of explaining complex stuff in a very simple and straightforward manner. Hey Apoptose,

You’re very welcome!

I just want to thank you for the ada-dk website and wiki. I'm learning Ada with John Barnes' Programming in Ada 2005, and I found plenty of examples and interesting tutorials there. Hi!
