I'll be going on a 10 hour plane trip this weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any advice concerning the available educational materials on the net that I might use to my advantage while on this flight. I have some books on Ada-83 and I'll be taking one or more of these along. I have a laptop computer with GNAT installed and I have the Walnut Creek Ada CDs, but unfortunately my battery will only last 3 hours or so (additional batteries for this model aren't available yet). So, I guess what I'm asking is the following: What documents have the combination of brevity and substance that I could take along hard copy and read on the plane. Which documents on the CDs I have are of optimal use while my battery holds out? I'm going through the lovelace tutorial, is this the best? Any other advice? I'm interested in the book "Ada as a Second Language", but fear I can't get it before this weekend. (Sidenote to readers in Houston TX, USA - know anybody who has this in stock?) Thanks. -Jordan Henderson jordan@neosoft.com
