I don't know John English's book either that is why I didn't mention it
:-) But I have also heard other recommend it. Unfortunately the library
does not have it and I have all the Ada books (4) I need for the moment
:-)

Yes I agree there. There are to my knowledge no Learn/Teach yourself Ada
in X min/day/weeks nor Ada for Dummies. O'Reilly does not have any Ada
books which a bit of a pity though. Not that all O'Reilly books are of
high quality...
