Benefits of Ada in web applications development

Adrian Hoe — Wed, 10 May 2006 02:41:01 +0000

The Ada programming language has been field-tested in mission critical system/software development. Originally developed for DoD (Department of Defense) in the 1970s for the development of embedded real-time weapon systems, mission critical C4I systems, scientific and general purpose computing. Ada has been field-tested in both military and civilian avionics.

Ada’s readability makes it easy to read and understand when maintaining huge software source code. It’s reliablity increases ROI (Return of Investment) and reduces down time by the ability to identify bugs and possible software glitches during compilation.

The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web servers. A plain HTML document that the Web daemon retrieves is static, which means it exists in a constant state: a text file that doesn’t change. A CGI program, on the other hand, is executed in real-time, so that it can output dynamic information.

With AdaCGI, it is possible to development web application using the Ada programming languages. Web applications developed with Ada are more reliable and suitable for mission critical environment of all modern businesses. Downtime, support and maintenance costs can be effectively reduced thus cost-effective for businesses.
