I guess one of the problems is that, in the past, I found Barnes' books were of a "how to program a computer, and we'll use Ada to show you" rather than "oh, you already know how to program a computer, here's where Ada is different to what you might already know". I'm looking for more of the latter, i.e. I don't want the really basic stuff, but the Rationale (for someone who hasn't been using Ada regularly for about 7 years) is a bit too deep. Something in between would be nice (like Cohen's book was for Ada 95 !)
