I really liked "Ada as a Second Language." Very well organized. Very
useful if you already know C++, COBOL, and/or Fortran 9x. Well-indexed
as well. Extremely dense, in the sense that as you get farther into it,
it may take several long seconds to figure out what a single sentence
means, since if you haven't internalized all the Ada terminology, you
have to translate from "classwide typess with derived types containing
unconstrained arrays with limited components ..." to what that actually
means in English. :-)
It is not specific to any particular OS or compiler, however. (Which may
be good or bad, depending on your needs.)
