Hello everyone,
In 2016, I published an introductory Ada book as an e-book. This time around, I have created a second version of this book, located here: https://amzn.to/2KC3Zic
This is what the second edition has:
- It's in print. You can buy a printed version. I've read programming e-books before, but mostly it has been a question if my screen/monitor was large enough to correctly display the source-code (it often was, but was impossible on an iPhone).
- I added a chapter on networking. Networking is something that I'm working on improving my understanding. Only after I sufficiently understood how to implement examples in Ada did I add this to my next book.
- There is a chapter on how to build libraries. Packages and methods are great for encapsulating code and making it more reuseable. However, not having to re-compile the code is simply phenomenal.
- There is a chapter on proofs. In my previous book, this was a part of a chapter. In this book, it is a chapter. Such an important topic earned its own chapter.
- I had a professional editor looked over the book. After my first attempt, I realized that there is plenty of room for improvement in subsequent versions. As a result, I hired a professional to give me invaluable input on specific things that I can do better.
I'm open to sending PDFs as review copies, please send your requests to:

Thank you for those -- on this mailing list -- who have helped me better understand Ada!
