Example programs are depicted graphically, showing the relationships between the various software modules. A unique glossary/index makes it easy for readers to find explanations and examples of language features. There are six chapters, three appendices and a 20-page glossary/index.

Ada Essentials is designed for programmers who are experienced in one or more other languages and desire a quick way to learn Ada essentials, illustrated with small, compilable, runable programs. It can also serve as a supplementary reference source for students taking college courses or corporate training courses in Ada. ----------------------- Bard S.
