Actually, I think that sounds like a great idea. Package it with GNAT
for Windows and AdaGide on a ready-to-load CD, and you might have a real
winner. Don't be fooled by the "For Dummies" name--those books are not
necessarily for the unintelligent, simply for those who are starting out
with very little knowledge of the subject. The only one I have had
experience with is "HTML for Dummies", but when I was looking for a good
reference book on HTML, it was by far the most useful one that I found.
Who knows--with some savy marketing, this could be the new Turbo Pascal
:-)
