I have used Barnes' "Programming in Ada 2005", but I am not completely
happy with it as a textbook. I think a part of the problem is in the
exercises. It takes too many pages to get to some working (read:
compilable) examples. In addition to this I have my students'
complaints that Barnes occassionally seems to be preaching rather than
teaching. (This isn't something that bothers me directly.)
How does Burns' and Wellings' "Concurrent and Real-Time Programming in
Ada" compare to "Programming in Ada 2005" as a textbook?
Greetings,
Jacob
