Personally, I'd like to have a book that was nothing but examples.
When coding, especially in a language new to me, I search for code
similar to what I need to do and modify it for my usage. A book of
examples would allow me to find templates to use. Ada is not one
of the easier languages to learn and it has gotten more complex in
'95. Reading the LRM does not make it easier to understand. BTW,
can someone tell me exactly what "abstract tagged limited private"
or "abstract tagged limited null record" means? How about some
examples instead?
