Review
From the reviews of the second edition: “The text covers all of the main parts of Ada that an experienced programmer will be looking to understand ... .The examples are generally quite good and well formatted ... . This book would probably be a good fit for someone who is experienced both in programming and in reading specifications, who already knows ... Ada to write simple programs and who has a copy of the Ada Reference Manual at hand to look things up as required.” (Jeffery Putnam, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2009)
