John Barnes has updated quite a few of his examples, and provided some fully coded examples of topics that are not published anywhere else. On the other hand, one of my students from Japan just sent me an email noting an error in some code on page 254. Anyone who has ever published knows that some little error slips by now and then. So far, this is the only error I have noted in the Second Edition. As mentioned in an earlier post, I still think the books by Ben-Ari and John English are still good choices for newcomers to Ada. But the Barnes book belongs in everyone's library if they are serious about Ada. Richard Riehle richard@adaworks.com http://www.adaworks.com
