I'm very happy you have found my Ada textbooks useful!  It is always
nice when someone notices a book author's name.  Feel free to contact
me directly if you have any questions on the material in the books.
The OO material in the data structures book is elementary.  Check out
the Barnes or Ben-Ari books for an in depth treatment.  Should you
want to go on to learn about Ada's concurrent features, I have a new
book coming out at the end of the year: Building Parallel, Embedded,
and Real-Time Applications with Ada, www.cambridge.org/9780521197168
It is aimed at introducing the topics to novices with a background in
sequential programming.
