NEW YORK & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

AdaCore today launched AdaCore University - a free, web-based resource center for anyone interested in learning about, or how to program in, the Ada programming language. The new website offers pre-recorded courses and other learning materials on Ada, with access to AdaCores GNAT Ada toolset for writing and running example programs. It also utilizes the latest in website design and learning tool features. Students at all levels of experience and expertise can begin writing programs quickly and can proceed at their own pace.

AdaCore University courses educate through examples, allowing students to see, understand and experiment with most features of the Ada programming language. Drawing on the experience and teaching credentials of Ada experts, such as AdaCore founders and New York University Emeritus Professors Robert Dewar and Edmond Schonberg, the courses explain Adas technical concepts with insight into the rationale and usage of particular features.

The initial curriculum includes two courses:

Both of these modules, and all future courses, provide sources and installation instructions for all learning materials and tools. The courses cover the latest version of the Ada language (Ada 2012), and students have access to AdaCores GNAT Ada development environment and programming tools. The AdaCore University website also hosts a number of technical papers on Ada, offering insight into particular aspects of the languages design and usage.

AdaCore University is an ongoing, live project that will be expanded to include more advanced courses on Ada, and SPARK 2014 an Ada-based programming language designed for high-integrity software (i.e., where reliability is essential and where safety and/or security certification may be required).

AdaCore Launches Free, Online Ada Educational Resource for the Software Development Community

Software to help small businesses comply with an U.S. Internet sales tax would cost many businesses tens of thousands of dollars to roll out and nearly as much to maintain each year, according to a study released by opponents of the proposed tax.

As several U.S. lawmakers and retail groups renew their efforts to get Congress to approve an Internet sales tax, opponents countered Wednesday with a study saying sales tax collection software would cost medium-sized Web-based sellers $80,000 to $290,000 to set up and another $57,500 to $260,000 a year in fees, auditing expense and other costs.

Even though some Internet sales tax bills would require states to make tax collection software available free to businesses, many Internet sellers would still have to pay those set-up and maintenance costs, according to the study commissioned by True Simplification of Taxation (TruST), a group opposed to an Internet sales tax. It will be difficult for Internet businesses to get software to work with up to 46 states that now collect sales taxes, wrote study authors Larry Kavanagh and Al Bessin.

The result is hardly free, they wrote. A plug-in integration only works when using unmodified, out-of-the-box software. In the real world, where software has been in use for years and has been modified to fit the retailers business, integration is substantially messy and expensive.

The integration costs would be significant for small and medium-sized Internet sellers, who often operate their businesses on relatively small margins, Bessin, a retail veteran, said in an interview. This whole idea that theres free software and integration is easy is patently incorrect.

An Internet sales tax requirement would create a new problem for sellers, Bessin said, in an effort fix what critics call an unfair taxing system between online and bricks-and-mortar sellers.

The Marketplace Fairness Act, which passed in the U.S. Senate in May, would allow states to collect sales tax on large Internet sellers that have no presence within their borders. Now, online retailers only have to collect taxes in states where they have a physical presence, including retail stores and warehouses.

Supporters of the bill say the current rules are unfair to bricks-and-mortar businesses required to collect sales tax.

The bill, which is waiting for action in the House of Representatives, would exempt Internet sellers with less than $1 million a year in sales from collecting sales tax for other states.

Supporters of the bill should require states to pay for software integration costs if they think it will be easy, said Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, an e-commerce trade group opposed to the sales tax bill. The bill doesnt require states to help with software integration costs, he said.
