Bard and I seem to be moving in the same direction. I have a
little booklet I use as a supplement in my Ada classes, including a
glossary, I call "Ada Distilled." I wonder how many others are
developing this kind of thing.
Bard's work is a bit more comprehensive than mine, I think. "Ada
Distilled" is targeted at programmers. It is mostly a collection
of example programs with line-by-line comments, not a complete
coverage of the language.
There is a need for more of these little booklets to aid people in
their study of Ada. I am considering making "Ada Distilled" available
on David Botton's site when I feel it is stable enough.
