> How do you like Barnes?
It's excellent, it's the right size for big Ada, covers all the subleties of the language.

Ben-Ari's book is sort of a digest, but it's also excellent and well worth reading. Ben-Ari's for Ada 95 is online. I would print and bind it. It's short and has the best typesetting.

There are nice things by Barnes online too, the rationales, and an intro to Ada 2012.
