As a second year student you may find some of the Ada textbooks more to your liking than the good trade books already mentioned. I'll suggest (with a great deal of bias) Programming and Problem Solving with Ada 95 Dale, Weems, and McCormick Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2000 Ada Plus Data Structures: An Object-Oriented Approach (uses Ada 2005) Dale and McCormick Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2007 I wrote these for the CS1 and CS2 courses. Each chapter has one or two case studies, each with design and complete programs. I go through both books in a course for 2nd year students with a Java or C+ + background. John
