I learned Ada orginally when I was working on a Masters degree in CS. The
major advantage was that I spent about 1/5 the time doing the home work as
any other student in my class (using Meridian Ada on an 8080 computer).
The concepts used in Ada development are sound foundations for any language.
I have programmed in many languages in the last 20 years, from Fortran, C,
Ada, Pascal, VB. Knowing Ada has helped me develpment applications that are
more universal and easier to maintain.
Are there jobs, That is always the a good question. If I was willing to move
I could still be doing Ada now. But, I want to live in an area focusing on
Java. I currently use VB for most applications. But, because of the
direction of VB.Net (going to C++ style and problems) I am looking at Ada
again for developing a Windows application. At least Microsoft can't pull
the rug out from under me again.
My opinion for what it is worth,
Ken
