Book Description
Today, Ada is heavily used in embedded real-time systems, many of which are safety critical. While Ada is and can be used as a general-purpose language, it will really shine in low-level applications:
- Embedded systems with low memory requirements (no garbage collector allowed)
- Direct interfacing with hardware
- Soft or hard real-time systems
- Low-level systems programming
Specific domains seeing Ada usage include Aerospace & Defense, civil aviation, rail, and many others. These applications require a high degree of safety: a software defect is not just an annoyance, but may have severe consequences. Ada provides safety features that detect defects at an early stage - usually at compilation time or using static analysis tools.
This course will teach you the basics of the Ada programming language and is intended for those who already have a basic understanding of programming techniques. You will learn how to apply those techniques to programming in Ada.
