Earlier this year, Richard posted the following in this newsgroup:

Reminder.  My book, Ada Distilled, is available on-line.  It is
designed to help someone who already can program in another language
learn how to program in Ada.

All the examples are fully coded. They will compile.  They will
execute.  It is not completely ready for Ada 2012, but Ed Colbert is
working on updating it for the new 2012 standard.

You can download Ada Distilled free from several sits.

I contacted Richard yesterday, and he confirmed Ed and he will be
discussing some of the plans for a future update this very week.
So stay tuned...
