Not any more; as far as publishers are concerned, OOP means "out of print" when applied to Ada :-( Mike's book is now OOP, as is mine. We are now having to consider teaching another language at Brighton because of the lack of suitable textbooks for beginners. The publishers aren't interested because the market's too small. And various sections of industry are complaining that they can't find enough trained Ada developers, so they're being forced to move to Java or C++. Sigh. ----------------------------------------------------------------- John English | mailto:je@brighton.ac.uk Senior Lecturer | http://www.comp.it.bton.ac.uk/je Dept. of Computing | ** NON-PROFIT CD FOR CS STUDENTS ** University of Brighton | -- see http://burks.bton.ac.uk -----------------------------------------------------------------
