[gtkada] Basic questions about GtkAda

[Pascal]

Hello Gautier,

I have put some basic explanations in:
http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/telechargements/gtkada/gtk-ada.pdf
from
http://blady.pagesperso-orange.fr/a_savoir.html#gtkada
(French language tutorials)

I began first with gate but as it has been discontinued in GtkAda, thus I switched to GtkBuilder.
So you'll find both in the tutorial.

Keep me informed of your progress ;-)

Regards, Pascal.
