More than just a tool, Ada is a modern programming language designed for both large-scale program implementation and safety-critical real-time systems.
The “Ada 95 & 2005 : The Basics” course focuses on the practical application of the concepts and paradigms offered by the Ada language. Through numerous examples and hands-on exercises, this training emphasizes the real-world use of Ada in industrial environments.
Understanding the internal mechanisms of the language greatly facilitates learning. That’s why this course also covers how Ada compilers implement the language and includes detailed references for using GNAT technology.
