Hi plink

I'm not sure how much feedback would you like. I could write a lot about this, more then you would probably want to read. 

I am crazy about Ada and like you I am coming from the electronics side of things and not CS.

I now have over 20 Ada books. I have all of the mailing lists posts in a 63K page PDF. 2002-2010 IRC logs in another document and have spent hours reading online. I still don't know much but I am gearing up for a year of intense study.

I think of all of these the easiest and one of the best resources is just the Wikipedia book.

It's my understanding that the Ada revisions are additive and that even old mouldy books are useful. Used Ada books are about $1 - $10 USD.

If you want to email me I can send you all the PDFs I have found on the net. You can use patrick at Spelling Bee Winnars .or (intentional misspelled)
