Simple CGI

On the 2nd April, I finally got around to completing a SCGI implementation in Ada, which turned out easier than expected.

Professors Slam Java As "Damaging" To Students

Just posted on SlashDot.com is an article outlining the problems with

An Ada95 "hello world" style kernel

Conversations on #Ada keep coming back to operating systems and their kernels so I decided to dig out some code I wrote in 2000 and get it working again. I intended this code to be the basis of a microkernel written in Ada.

Persistence makes you capable

During my research of operating systems kernels, I got side tracked towards security mechanisms in operating systems and their kernels.

An operating system design

Conversations in #Ada on IRC yesterday turned back to developing an OS in Ada, this has actually been a goal of mine for some time.

Restarting work on ANTLR's Ada95 Target

Well, I've begun to look at the ANTLR source and the source I started writing for the Ada95 language target and I'm getting to the point where I'm seeing problems with the Java implementation again.

Interfacing to C from Ada95

In this tutorial I will take you through the steps of interfacing to C variables and functions.

Dot notation for tagged types

Using the code from the interface types tutorial, we can now use the dot notation provided by Ada 2005.

Interface types

Carrying on from the abstract types tutorial, the natural progression is to add multiple inheritance.

Abstract types

This tutorial will show you what an abstract type is in Ada. I will also provide information on how the Ada type equates to the C++ class.

An abstract type provides the "specification" for a family of a user defined types.
