I assume you are referring to John English's book. The latest version of this book I was able to find online is updated only to Ada 95. Is there a more recent version?
Incidentally, this brings up an important question: would a beginner (starting today) be likely to later find himself at a disadvantage if he learns the language from an Ada 95 / 2005 tutorial (instead of the latest 2012 standard)? I am assuming here (as in my case) that the beginner's interest focuses mostly (almost exclusively) on the language's core commands/structures (no advanced features like concurrency, etc are needed).
In other words, have the basic features of the language (syntax, etc) changed a lot across versions?

Dufr
