Yesterday I got a copy of the book for $39. I had ordered it three weeks
ago at a local Anderson's book store. Last month the expected price was
$64. Thanks for the bargain!
I am a Borland Pascal refugee and this is an excellent book:
Cohen, Norman H. Ada as a Second Language, 2nd ed. McGraw-Hill,
1996. 1133 pp. (ISBN: 0-07-011607-5)
Encyclopedic in scope, this book covers all of Ada 95, including the
predefined packages and the specialized-needs annexes. Each chapter
ends with a section addressed to users of Ada-83 compilers.
Comparisons with C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, and Pascal avoid
misconceptions about Ada and help readers recognize a new notation for
a familiar concept. Proceeding from introductory explanations of
fundamental software-engineering and programming concepts to detailed
and enlightening discussions of language features, and containing
hundreds of complete examples, Ada as a Second Language serves as both
a tutorial introduction and a complete reference to the Ada language.
