I've Barnes' Ada 95 and, somehow,until now, didn't have much time to dive into it.
Now, seeing that Ada 2012 book is ready I wonder whether I should take advantage of '95 book' and then try to catch up to 2012 or to buy Ada 2012 version?
I did download preview version for my Kobo reader, but I must say that although it would cost me half of the dead-tree version, I still prefer holding book in my hands despite of potential circulation problems.
Any hint whether 2012 is significantly different to justify buying it?
It's a bit pricey (for me) and I have intention to use Ada for open-source project(s).
Sincerely,
Gour
