It is a great, concise introduction to Ada. Richard's is also extremely well done. I applaud both of you for helping to promote the language, especially at a time when so many outsiders think the language is dead. Hopefully, efforts like these will help more people C the beauty, power and safety of this language before we all drown in a C of errors.
