Ada's also devoted to development by large groups with subgroups working independently, as well as embedded coding. Ada's a big, capable language with breathtakingly strong typing, modular programming mechanisms (packages), run-time checking, parallel processing with tasks (Ada's implementation of threads). Ada also has object orientation and high level type-safe memory management (and no pointers). Ada has packages for creating both Web applications and graphical (GUI) applications. The latest version is Ada 2022, which came out in 2023. On Wednesday, 12/4/2024 at 7pm Eastern Standard time, Steve Litt will give a 2 hour Beginning Ada Presentation to help you decide if Ada interests you, and to give you the basic tools to learn Ada independently, as well as from Steve's 3/4 complete "Beginning Ada" web page at https://troubleshooters.com/codecorn/ada/beginningada.htm . Where: GoLUG: https://meet.jit.si/golug When: Wednesday, 12/4/2024 7pm Eastern Standard time Arrive 15 minutes early for Microphone check & discussion Hope to see you there.
