Ben-Ari's book is published by Wiley -- which is as a distinguished publisher of Ada books as AWL, and he's of course at Weizmann Institute, which is, I heard, even better than Technion. :-) However, my points about the book stay the same: it gives better coverage since it follows an encyclopedic tradition, and the author and the publisher did a great job. I salut to all the great authors of major Ada books, including Norman Cohen and his grand opus magnum John Barnes and his dynamic classic Mike Feldman et al. and their lucid textbook Springer and their definitive series of Ada standard editions, authored and edited by Tucker Taft, John Barnes, and others Now, if only Peter Wegner would update his book, some of us would see that often, we already have "been there, done that"! :-) This book, "Programming with Ada: An Introduction by means of Graduated Examples", 1980, is still one of the best, IMHO. Can somebody who knows Peter's current address please forward this plea to him and update me on his e-mail?
