Can anyone > recommend one? ...thanks I've been using "Programming In Ada, Third Edition" by J.G.P. Barnes and have loved it. The book is written as a text book, but I find it is usefull as a reference book as well. I used it in a directed study class when I was in school, and I keep it on my bookshelf at work. The only thing I find this book doesn't address is implementation specific, but those parts are detailed in my development environment documentation. I imagine a 4th or even 5th edition has been released since I got the 3rd edition. My copy does not cover anything about Ada95 (it was released in 1989), so you probably would want to get the latest release. -- Voicing my own opinion, not speaking as a company representative.
