Simple CGI

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

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.

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.

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.

wxAda: an Ada95 binding to wxWidgets

wxWidets was a piece of software I was using at work, I liked it so much that it made it's way into my home projects.

As I was using wxWidgets a lot, I was getting rather annoyed with C++.

Geek Gadgets

When I was starting university I still had an Amiga 1200 and was using this to do my university coursework on whereever possible.

As I needed an Ada compiler for uni, I got involved with the legendary Fr
