4.0 out of 5 stars A decent explanation of Ada, 19 Jan 2003
This is the best Ada guide I've ever read, and as I work with Ada I've read a few. The book focuses on the core concepts within the Ada language: it gives the strong "typing" and easy parallel tasking of the language far more coverage than the ability to print "Hello World!" on the screen. The book does assume you have software engineering knowledge: it's not intended as a first introduction to programming, it's a first introduction to Ada but if you've any flare as a softie then this is easy to overcome.

I can only assume that the bad reviews listed here come from people who are missusing the book. If you just want to know how to print some characters on the screen so you can try and blag a job working in Ada then this book isn't for you. If you want to know how to work with Ada properly and gain an understanding of its most powerful features then Programming In Ada95 is the one for you.

All in all, this is THE Ada book

5.0 out of 5 stars An Ada 95 complete knowledge package!, 1 Jun 2002
This very readable book, written by one of the world's leading Ada gurus, concentrates on the Ada language syntax and also gives many examples of practical Ada use. It comes with language feature reminder checklists, lists of changes from Ada 83 to Ada 95 and 6 detailed complete programs with explanation. The book also contains exercises with (importantly!) answers. The book also contains the Objectada compiler CD - a complete PC Ada system with neat environment and great debugger. The CD also contains many other Ada examples from other authors and sources.

A complete package for anyone wanting or needing to learn Ada - this book is one of those rare things - a readable reference work! By the way - I am not related to the author...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Ada Bible, 16 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Programming in ADA 95 (International Computer Science Series) (Paperback)
This book is an excellant book for Ada95. It covers almost all subjects on powerful capability of Ada95. I don't want to recommand this book for beginners as a tutorial but no one could deeply understand Ada95 without this book. However, readers may not recognize much important idea if they do not concetrate since the book is lack of well-organized summary. That's the only thing that I am disappointed with.

This is the worst programming book I have ever read - not only for Ada, but for all programming languages. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive Ada95 Book I've read
Although it has a tendency to be dry, it does a very good job of explaining each part of Ada in such a way that it can be understood by the non-ada person.
Published on 5 Feb 1999

1.0 out of 5 stars Book is too difficult to read.
The first chapters jump into flash-forwards of features to be explained later. This may make for a good sci-fi novel, but makes a very confusing technical manual. Read more
