Advanced Ada 83 Programming

ADA Training Overview

This course is the second in a two-part series in which the student will learn how to effectively implement a software design using the Ada programming language. In this course, the student will learn how Ada supports reuse; and real-time, embedded-systems development. The student will gain experience with the Ada syntax and semantics for advanced data typing, generics, tasking, and low-level programming.

ADA Training Prerequisites

"Introduction to Ada Programming" (or equivalent)

ADA Training Audience

Advanced Programmers, Designers, and Systems Engineers

ADA Training Course duration

5 Days

ADA Training Course Objectives

After this course a student should be able to

Write simple concurrent Ada 95 programs
Understand Ada's features for system-level program
Use Ada 95 to support software re-use efforts
Contribute to the design of Ada 95 software applications

In the workshops, the student will apply the principles taught in the lecture to problems directly related to your work. Whenever possible, your current projects and software will be used for sample problems.
