If the beginner has a background in other OO languages where you can
write object.method(); calls, he may be more comfortable going straight
to Ada 2005 which allows both object.method; and method(object);
rather than un-learning that for Ada(95) and re-learning it later.
Otherwise I agree that Ada-95 is a perfectly good place to start.
