Re: Recent Ada books [was: an interested business-oriented programmer]

["Marin David Condic" <marin.condic.auntie.spam@pacemicro.com>]

I just hit up Google and found: http://www.bestbookdeal.com/ By going to
Computer-Books-Category | Programming | Languages | Ada I turned up two
pages of references - many by names familiar here. How many of these are in
print or available I cannot say, but there certainly seemed to be enough to
choose from that one probably doesn't need to complain that there are no Ada
books.

BTW: As an early reviewer of Dr. Crawford's book, I can give it a very
strong recommendation. It is targeting an audience of programmers who need
to get up to speed with Ada quickly and may not need to find every nook &
cranny of Ada right off. I found all the hyperlinks to be a big aid as well.
It is a good place to start if you already know some programming language(s)
and are just not familiar with Ada.
