That's a good point actually. We should of teamed up and written a text book on how to run a football club and given it to Gino for Christmas. Could of signed the inside cover with quotes from the forum members about how he's done these past five/six years.

I'll have to look out for their books then.

 

I pondered that but when I took that away Word flagged it as incorrect. I suppose because it's a wordy title the assumption is it forms a sentence (which is what it is) hence why the full stop is necessary. But I do get your angle as well. I think it's probably correct either way, it just depends on how you read it.

 

This is what the working code will look like on the pages. Again, early prototypes here but I like the highlight background, stands out from the standard white. Using 'Consolas' as the font type makes it look more PC

 

I agree. Having one in colour and one in black and white print is always an option going forward. Black and white is the general rule, if they do well enough than a colour print can be put forward later on.

 

Reason I chose red for and blue was to make the name of the language stand out from the book theme. 2021 is the current standard version of the language and I wanted that to stand out with the language name. I can always change the colours to blend more. I guess with the strapline I wanted to make sure people knew the target audience (beginners) before the even opened the book up.

Yes the code would be the very first Ada program a beginner would write. In the actual text, each statement would be discussed in more detail so people understand what they mean and how they operate. Comments are generally always pretty heavy going on an initial program but further along most of the programs only have comments at the top and before complex pieces of logic. I think you make a good point though, it's always better to suspend your usage of comments in any program. I've seen some actual video game code with comments splashed all over it. I've always had a personal rule of thumb to only comment if I personally might need prompting what something does when I go back and read it.
