I find that it is quite concise and provides good examples, especially in the OOP department (I know, BIG surprise considering the title ). In contrast, I found the Smith book (_Object-Oriented Software in Ada95, Michael A Smith) to be very wanting (you get it with the Aonix ObjectAda compiler). It suffers from trying to cover too much in too little space. Another thing I DON'T like about it is that it goes over Ada83 AND Ada95 where I would rather just see the new/changed features. If I want to know about Ada83 I'll go out and buy an Ada83 book. Somewhat light on the OOP/tagged types area. Just my two cents, Marc Bejerano
