Which books to learn ADA?

Which books to learn ADA?

[Alessio Sangalli]

Hi, I would like to learn the ADA language. Woudl you suggest me a 
couple of books I could begin to read? I'm an experienced programmer in 
C, C++, Java etc.

I'd use gnat in a Linux environment to learn the language.

Thank you
Alessio Sangalli

Hi Alessio

Take a look at the learning center of my website (http://www.adaworld.com
and click on the learning center) you'll see tutorials and free donwloadable
PDF files you can get.  Since you know C/C++  I suggest reading Ada
Distilled (available in the free books section) which is specifically made
for experienced programmers in other languages.

Note that everyone who replied to you wrote "Ada". It's a woman's name, 
not an acronym.

You could always print the on-line books :)

I'd recommend Barnes /Programming in Ada 95/ and Cohen /Ada as a 2nd 
Language/.

In addition to AdaWorld, AdaPower (www.adapower.com) is a good site. The 
"Books" link might be of interest to you.
