I asked last week for recommendations about on-line (or other remote)
training in Ada, and received no reply here, and only one comment in
email--an offer of a course that doesn't sound quite right for me.

So I talked to my boss, and he checked the requirements for our "training"
hours, and we determined that OJT would be acceptable.  I am now planning
to buy some undetermined number of good books on Ada95 on the company
dime, and lay in bed sucking down Pepsi while reading them on the company
clock.  Sound cynical?  That's only because I am.  But I see this as a
golden opportunity to get some good literature on a subject I really am
interested in--I write free software it Ada on my own time.

Therefore, *now* my question is, what are some good titles?  Cost is
clearly not much of an issue; the company is getting a bargain compared to
formal training.  Books aimed at, or "suitable" for self-study would be
nice, but not necessary.  I learn very well from books:  I learned C from
reading K&R (no, really!).  Accurate and comprehensive are more the
adjectives I'm looking for.  Oh, and I'm really interested in books at an
intermediate to advanced level, or at least ones that cover more than just
the basics.  I've been programming in Ada83 since 1981 (or was it '79?),
and started using Ada95 when it was called Ada9x.  But there's certainly
more I could learn, so name yer titles, folks.

Many thanks in advance!
