Could anyone please give me some info on what book (or program) would be
good for someone wanting to learn ADA95.  I have no background in ADA and
only limited background in C++ so I would like to have something that starts
at the very basics.
Please e-mail replys to sunkiss@citynet.net       thanks!!!

I like the little book by John English published by Prentice-Hall as an
introductory book.  It is well written and, if you follow the examples
all the way through, you may learn a lot about the language.  

There are other books that are more comprehensive, but John has done a 
great job at presenting essentials without overwhelming the reader with
stuff that can best be learned a little later.

Another book that meets this test is David Naiditch's book.

We are using "Jan Skansholm: Ada 95 from the beginning" as the base
text book for our algorithims and data structures course. A lot of us
are beginers at programming in any language. In fact we have only used
Scheme before this.
