Ada in a Nutshell A section of the site entitled "Ada in a Nutshell" consists of seven pages excerpted from the HTML version of "Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary." Two of these pages provide a high-level, graphical overview of the entire language: 4 kinds of modules (program units) and 3 ways of connecting modules (withing relationships, nesting relationships, and parent/child relationships). I would like to invite comments on this section. 2. Book Reviews A new page at the site contains two reviews of "Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary" written by professional software engineers. One is a brief review written by Jerry Petrey of Ratheon. The other, more extensive, review is by Marin D. Condic of Quadrus Corp. 3. Change of Source for PDF Version The PDF or "eBook" version of "Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary" can no longer be obtained from FatBrain.com. It can now be ordered directly from the www.LearnAda.com site. FatBrain was acquired by Barnes and Noble, which has changed their "business model." They are now interested only in eBooks that have best- seller potential. (They have not yet realized that Ada texts have this potential. :-) ----------------------- Bard S.
