Download or read book Beginning Ada Programming written by Andrew T. Shvets and published by Apress. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Ada programming language by being gently guided through the various parts of the language and its latest available stable release. The goal in this book is to slowly ease you into the different topics. It is understood that you do not always have ample free time, so the text is easy to digest and concepts are spoon fed to the reader. Starting with the simplest of topics, detailed explanations demonstrate the how and why of Ada. You are strongly encouraged to experiment and break things (without which the learning process is linear and quite dull). At the end of Beginning Ada Programming, you will have an excellent understanding of the general topics that make up the Ada programming language and can tackle far more challenging topics. Each chapter builds on what was previously described. Furthermore, each code example is independent of others and will run all by itself. Instructions are provided where you can obtain an Ada compiler and how to debug your code. What You Will Learn Master basic types, control structures, procedures, and functions in AdaUse Ada arrays, records, and access typesImplement OO programming using AdaHandle the basics of I/O and interfacing with the operating systemTake advantage of string operators, data containers, multiprocessing with tasks, and moreWork with contracts and proofs, networks, and various Ada libraries Who This Book Is For Programmers who are new to Ada, with at least some experience in programming, especially scientific programming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lovelace provides an introduction to Ada 95, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. Although the reader is assumed to have a basic understanding of programming, no prior exposure to Ada is assumed and all the basics of the language are covered. The book comprises eighteen chapters each of which is composed of short sections designed to cover a small number of key concept and to provide a test question to check the reader's understanding of the concepts covered. Each chapter then concludes with a small quiz to help ensure that the reader has grasped the principles covered in the chapter. One of Ada 95's new features, its object-oriented facilities, is covered in depth, and all of the essential features of Ada programming are covered thoroughly. In Ada 95 significant enhancements were also added to Ada's ability to interface with other programming languages (such as C, Fortran, and Cobol) and these are covered in one chapter. As a result both students and professional programmers learning Ada for the first time will welcome this new text.

Download or read book Concurrency in Ada written by Alan Burns and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-02-19 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major feature of the Ada programming language is the facilities it provides for concurrent programming. Alan Burns and Andy Wellings provide here a thorough and self-contained account of concurrent programming in Ada, and so show users, even beginners, how to harness the full power of the whole language. After giving an overview of the non-concurrent features of Ada, the authors proceed to examine in detail the uses of concurrent programming and the inherent difficulties in providing inter-process communication. The Ada tasking model is then introduced; the way it deals with these and related matters is explained in a number of separate chapters, covering system programming, real-time issues, distribution, object-oriented programming and re-use. This is the first book which deals with concurrent features in the new Ada standard, and it offers practical advice to the programmer needing to use it for embedded systems, while those interested more broadly in the development of programming languages will find many otherwise inaccessible issues probed in depth. It will thus be of value to professional software engineers and advanced students of programming alike; indeed, every Ada programmer will find it essential reading and a primary reference work. For the paperback edition the authors have made revisions throughout the text, updating and correcting where appropriate.

Download or read book ADA Programming written by Claudia Alves and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-03 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ADA programming language was first used by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1980s. They wanted to develop a centralized and standardized computer programming language, because there were thousands of languages in use, most of which were designed for just one system. ADA was officially standardized in 1979 and exclusively controlled by the Department of Defense, but they released the language to the public in 1987. Today, many industries use ADA, which is now defined by an international programming standards called the language reference manual (LRM).ADA is a highly advanced programming language that is designed according to the fundamental software engineering principles of efficiency, reliability, portability and maintainability. ADA provides everything from information hiding to abstract data types to concurrent-oriented programming functionality. Almost all professional ADA programmers follow a controlled validation process that eliminates poor practices and vulnerabilities that were possible through old languages like C. Ada is a highly flexible and structured object-oriented computer programming language.There are many reasons why ADA is globally popular. The syntax is very easy to learn, so users can create basic code in just a few minutes. Thus, it is easy for users to follow the program semantics and the connections between ideas, functions and language constructs. The ADA programming language is so powerful that it is mainly limited by the creativity and competency of the programmer. ADA has excellent error handling, support for distributed systems and implementation of abstract data types and package encapsulation.Programmers prefer ADA for different reasons. First, organizations will save on development costs because ADA does not require extended testing, upgrades and quality assurance checks. Instead, it was designed with embedded checks so that users can quickly and effectively detect errors that would be caught during the debugging process with C-based languages. Second, ADA is a mature, well-established language that has experienced different versions, such as ADA 83 in the 1980s, ADA 95 in the 1990s and ADA 2005 in recent years. During every new release, practical functionality and run-time efficiency are the top priorities.

Download or read book Programming with Specifications written by David Luckham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics • what this book is about, • its intended audience, • what the reader ought to know, • how the book is organized, • acknowledgements. Specifications express information about a program that is not normally part of the program, and often cannot be expressed in a programming lan guage. In the past, the word "specification" has sometimes been used to refer to somewhat vague documentation written in English. But today it indicates a precise statement, written in a machine processable language, about the purpose and behavior of a program. Specifications are written in languages that are just as precise as programming languages, but have additional capabilities that increase their power of expression. The termi nology formal specification is sometimes used to emphasize the modern meaning. For us, all specifications are formal. The use of specifications as an integral part of a program opens up a whole new area of programming - progmmming with specifications. This book describes how to use specifications in the process of building programs, debugging them, and interfacing them with other programs. It deals with a new trend in programming - the evolution of specification languages from the current generation of programming languages. And it describes new strategies and styles of programming that utilize specifications. The trend is just beginning, and the reader, having finished this book, will viii Preface certainly see that there is much yet to be done and to be discovered about programming with specifications.
