Hi

Thanks for your advise.

My manager at work wants me to learn Ada and has enrolled me in a 5 day
training course to start in three months time.  The company will provide
some books for me, but I need to determine which ones are good for beginner
programmers.  Hence my original post.  As the company has offered to buy the
books I dont really want to concentrate  on the free tutorials yet.

Many thank
