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! -- Not Genro, I just play him on the net ______________________________________________________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Still Only $9.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com With Seven Servers In California And Texas - The Worlds Uncensored News Source
