I've been using his 3rd edition "Programming In Ada" book for years now,
since I used it as a text book in college lo those (not so) many years
ago. Even with the less than stellar reviews as the only source of
information, I still may have considered buying his Ada95 book. The
only criticism I saw in the poor reviews was that it wasn't for
beginners. Well, I'm certainly not a beginner and need a book that
thoroughly covers all the topics. The review that contained useful
comments for experienced programmers was enough to convince me.
Amazon.com says it's been shipped and I look forward to reading it when
it arrives. I will be sure to put up a review once I read through it
once or twice.
