I've just ordered my copy.
John is clearly far too modest to advertise here, so I'll just pass on
this link :-)

Thanks Martin, I'll order it very soon too.

Gee, John told me last week that he didn't have the publishing details yet
(which is why the Ada 2005 section of
http://www.adaic.com/learn/textbook.html is empty). How did you find it out
before he did?? :-)

The _really_ sad answer to that is I was having to buy some C++ books
for my new job, so I just had a quick look to see if there were any new
Ada books at the same time :-(
It seems there are no Ada jobs in Edinburgh anymore. 10 years ago there
would have been 100+.
By the way, Amazon are advertising a 30th June 2006 release date, but
the AdaIC site is listing an April 2006 - is that the release date in
the USA?
Cheers

The Ada job market in the UK does appear to be non-existant.
I've long since regarded Ada as something that I'm only going to be able to
use on personal projects, and not something that I will be able to use
in a work environment.
Simon.

You can't be looking very hard! :-)
We have just gone through a significant phase of recruitment to support
a large,
new development, most of which will be Ada. I could also name a dozen
or so
very active SPARK projects in the UK...

I used the date on the publisher's website (follow the link on the Adaic
page). (That was March 30th). John sent me a cryptic note this morning that
seems to imply that date is wrong. Hopefully, I'll find out the real
answer...
Randy.
