I was considering buying Barnes's "Programming in Ada 2005" to along
with my Burns etc "Concurrent blah blah" but I noticed on Amazon that
M. Ben-Ari has come up with a second edition of his book.

Has anyone read that book and, if so, how does it compare to Barnes?

While wishing no disrespect to Mr Barnes, I always felt his Ada and
Ada 95 books were overshadowed by e.g Cohen's "Ada As A Second
Language" as a guide to someone who has a reasonable amount of
experience in developing computer software.

I'd be interested in knowing how M. Ben-Ari's book compares.

Any views would be gratefully appreciated.

John
