my girlfriend has to do a paper on the ADA programming language and she has asked me to help her, even though i dont know anything about programming. she is not tech savvy in the slightest but she has to prove in her paper that she understands how the language works. my question is does anyone know of some good resources or websites that will help me help her with her paper?

I don't know ada, but my advice is to google it, and check the wikis. I do know that ada has some history so there should be plenty of the "framing" that papers need.

you can find a sample of ada code at http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-ada-20.html . i love that site...

good luck

i found a lot of free and good ebooks here.
this one about ada i have not read yet so i can not tell if it is anything close to what you are looking for. there is wiki books about all kinds of subjects and most of them are pretty good.

Slightly off-topic I guess - but what sort of course is she doing that she has to do a paper on a programming language, but that by your admission she is not tech savvy, and she asks you for help - even though you know nothing about programming.

Sounds to me like she maybe on the wrong course.

You could have read the FAQ sticky thread.

Here's my entry for Ada with description and links:

And my Hello Ubuntu programming example using Ada (first post in the thread, just below the list of languages):

thanks for all the help, her paper turned out just fine.
