Re: ANNOUNCE: Online Ada textbook

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

I made a post to comp.realtime. Let me suggest this: If you have an idea
that some newsgroups might be interested in an on-line book about Ada,
perhaps cut John English's original post and paste it into a note of your
own and post that to the newsgroups you think would be interested. It might
be helpful to cross-post it to C.L.A. in case there are any respondents,
we'll be aware of them. It would probably be a good idea to include
references to AdaPower and the site for the Gnat compiler so if anyone has
enough follow-up interest, they know where to go to find more info, etc.

Here is what I posted to comp.realtime. It might serve as the basis for a
post of your own:

*******************************************************
For those who do realtime systems and use Ada (or are interested in
exploring Ada for their apps) there is a book recently put on-line. John
English recently made this text available and its an excellent way to get
familiar with Ada at no expense.

Freely available textbook at: http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/

Freely available compiler at: ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/

Lots of additional resources at: http://www.adapower.org/

From John English:
=====================================================
Since my book "Ada 95: The Craft of Object-Oriented Programming" is
now out of print following Prentice Hall being swallowed up by the
all-enveloping Pearson group, I have reacquired the copyright and
released it online at http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/
in HTML format. It can also be downloaded for offline use.

I've fixed the errata from the print edition (I think) but there
will no doubt be others that I've missed (or added). Please let
me know if you spot anything that needs fixing...

Enjoy!
