About the Ada Home

General

The Ada Home Web site is a hypertext information server to help disseminate information about the Ada programming language. It is alive and heavily used (we welcome more than 10,000 visitors each month). The Ada Home was created by Magnus Kempe, editor and publisher, and is run by KSCE.

The URL of the Ada Home is
http://www.adahome.com/

While browsing the Ada Home Web site, clicking on Lady Lovelace's icon link (seen as the string "Ada Home" in text-only mode) which appears at the bottom of all pages will always bring you back to the main entry page of the Ada Home.

The Ada Home Web site keeps growing. It is regularly updated and expanded. All comments, ideas, contributions, and requests for additions or corrections, are most welcome.

It is easy to contact the Ada Home; please use email, or alternatively go to our online Feedback Form. Email should be directed to the Ada Home at the webmaster
Thanks.

NO Mirroring

Several people have offered to mirror this site.

Here is our generic answer:

• first, it would be a violation of our copyright

• second, it would contradict the philosophy of the World-Wide Web

• third, we doubt that your proposed mirror would be as reliable (>99.9% uptime) and well-connected (redundant T3 lines) as the one used for the Ada Home.

The whole idea of the Web is to transparently access a distributed database. Useful, large-scale Web replication and caching will come, some day, if and when needed.
