The Ada community has used the power of the Internet to distribute computer resources and information; and most recently the World Wide Web (WWW) makes it easier to find those resources. Now, a tool called WebAda uses the Internet and the WWW to provide an interactive capability! For the rest of this paper, I will use the term Internet to include the World Wide Web.WebAda is an Ada development environment accessed via the World Wide Web. You don't download the compiler or any other software! You enter programs, set switches, compile, and see results through your favorite browser. In other words, your browser is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to WebAda.The Lovelace Tutorial took an initial step to become interactive, providing a multiple choice quiz at the end of most tutorial pages. WebAda has taken the next step with an on-line development environment which integrates Ada tools and information.One could say WebAda is to the Internet as C is to Unix, or as Basic is to DOS. When you have Internet access, you have all of the capabilities of WebAda available.
