The Lovelace tutorial is nice but it doesn't say anything about Win32
programming. Moreover, it doesn't have many code examples (at least the
ones I feel are important). Right now I'm reading Feldman and
Koffman's "Ada 95 Problem Solving and Program Design" (the electronic
edition) and I find it much more useful pedagogically (although I don't
agree so much with their not using "use".) I started last Thursday and
today I'm struggling to finish the fifth chapter. I hope to finish the
book this month and continue with an intermediate/advanced text next
month and finish with Win32 programming using Ada in October.
Regarding Emacs I have tried it before and I find it very interesting.
But right now I'm really concentrated on learning Ada and just don't
have the time to learn the intricacies of an editor such as Emacs.
