I made a survey of text books today at my university book store,
and I could not find a single book on Ada (nor on Fortran for that matter).
I remember many years ago that I saw one textbook that was in Ada for
a course in computer science area.
These are the computer languages books I've seen (all textbooks for
courses)
1) C/C++:
C FOR SCIENTISTS+ENGINEERS, ABSOLUTE C++, EBK ABSOLUTE C++,
DATA STRUCTURES+ALG.ANAL.IN C++
2) Perl: ELEMENTS OF PROGRAMMING WITH PERL
3) Matlab: few, here is one ENGINEERING COMPUTATION WITH MATLAB,
4) Python: PYTHON PROGRAMMING
I did not see a Java one at this school at this time, but I have seen
textbooks on Java before.
if students do not learn Ada at school, there is less chance
they will use.
It looks like C/C++ is still popular for teaching, I find this amazing :)
