If you look at the SigAda site -
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigada/education/
in the 'Books on Ada' link you will find reviews of most of the
available
Ada books. I just recently posted a review there on an outstanding
book on Ada for people with some programming background called
"Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary". It is small and
concise and also quite inexpensive and available in either printed or
electronic format.
The book you referenced is a very good book but it was written back
around
1989 and covers Ada 83 only.
Also check out Barnes' "Programming in Ada 95", 2nd edition. I have
also
reviewed it on Amazon.com. Highly recommended!
Good Luck,
Jerry
