2.0 out of 5 stars A dissapointingly basic introduction to Ada., 21 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I have found little in this book to encourage me to recommend it to anyone. Of course, being a thin book (~350 pages) there isn't actually a lot _in_ the book. If you are used to writing simple C or C++ programs and now want to start writing simple Ada programs, then this book is for you.

If you count yourself among those likely to want to use the more advanced features of ada, or are able to use the advanced features of C/C++, then you're unlikely to find a lot of useful information here. Even some of the basic informtion is obscured by a very scanty index that doesn't really do the job of an index at all.

I thought the advantage of a book aimed at C/C++ programmers would be that one could easily convert C/C++ ideas and concepts into Ada. Unfortunately this is only true for the elementary parts of the language.

This book skims the surface of Ada95 and often doesn't give you the information you need to complete a programming task.
