That sounds very harsh and biased to a beginner (or dummy). Couldn't
you be humble and nice? Cheers :-)

I'm writing a book, "Ada as First Language" but unfortunately, I have
not finished. I'm working on it only when I have free time. This book
is based on my experience teaching Ada in university.

But I think John Barnes' "Programming in Ada95" is good if you already
have some programming background. Seriously, if you really want to
learn Ada, I think nothing will stop you, at least IMHO.
