Programming in Ada 2005: http://amzn.com/0321340787 http://amzn.com/0321340787
- jmnicolas 12y agoThanks, I didn't know the first book but the second one has a more recent version covering Ada 2012.
- claystu 12y agoInteresting, I didn't realize there is a new edition: Programming in Ada 2012 by John Barnes: http://amzn.com/110742481X http://amzn.com/110742481X I wonder if ADA wouldn't be better if they were subtracting features rather than adding them.
- cjensen 12y agoI have an old copy of 'Ada as A Second Language'. It's like a million pages. A second language handbook shouldn't be thicker than K&R. Do you know any short books that really assume I already know how to program?
- claystu 12y agoI don't know of any short books on Ada. Given the language, and the fact it's still growing, I doubt there are any.
- krylon 12y agoThere is a Wikibook on Ada, although I cannot say anything about its quality. Also, the Ada language standard and the rationale document are available for free. The standard is really more useful as a reference document, but it is surprisingly readable for a standards document.
