Introductory Ada Workbook idea

Introductory Ada Workbook idea

[Deepak Kumar]

This semester I am teaching a 1-credit hands-on Ada class
(newly created course). The objective of the course is to
introduce the Ada environment in a semester with several
hands-on exercises. Prerequisites are CS1 & 2. Since it is
a completely lab oriented course (meets in a master-slave-indep
set up lab once a week for 2 hours) I am thinking of developing
a lab manual for it. We are using Bray & Pokrass as the text
for reading specifics on Ada. The lab manual will evolve 
and will supplement this text (or other similar texts). I was
wondering if there are any such Ada Workbooks out there...(before
someone shoots me down with a pointer to AJPO adabooks...I have
checked that list)....and if not, are there people interested
in something like this...

It would serve the following purposes:

1) Serve as a self-help workbook for the Ada Language (and environement)
2) Will introduce Ada features to the extent that the workbook CAN
   be stand-alone (however, it will have to be complemented by a real
   Ada text).
3) Could be used for the kind of 1-credit courses mentioned above.

Any suggestions?

Deepak.
