Part One:
Fundamentals


1. Programming concepts
2. Fundamentals of Ada
3. Statements
4. Procedures, functions and packages
5. Defining new data types
6. Composite data types
7. Exceptions
8. Program design and debugging
This part introduces you to the basic structure of Ada programs. I use a handful of small examples to illustrate how programs are structured and the way that fundamental statements can be put together to process data. Much of the work in many Ada programs can be done by reusing existing program components, so I use the standard packages that Ada implementations always provide wherever I can. This allows me to use the examples to illustrate the statements that you have to use to bind these building blocks together into a working program.
