Please excuse the triviality of this inquiry, but can you all
recommend a good text on ADA ? I would prefer: maximum coverage
(i.e. a reasonably long book), suitable as tutorial and with
some reference utility, appropriate for a programmer with much
experience in languages in general (Pascal, Modula, Fortran, COBOL,
etc but NOT C) but with only understanding of object-oriented
systems and languages - little hard experience, NO experience in
ADA itself, good background on theory and why - not obsessive with
examples. Would prefer paperbound but hardback OK too.

"Software Engineering With Ada", second edition, by Grady Booch
is a classic text. It has elaborate examples and as the title
suggests, concentrates on application of Booch's object oriented
style of programming to software engineering. It is intended
as an introductory text, and I recommend it along with the Ada
Language Reference Manual.
