I've been learning how to program in Ada over = the past few years. As someone that came from C/C++, Java and Python many = of the concepts that were in Ada were not easy to digest at first.

I think it's great that you have done so= . I read the introduction and noticed several grammatical errors. I suggest = you have a copy editor edit your book. It shouldn't cost you too much, and= it will provide a much better first impression to your readers. Good luck and best regards, Patrick
