Product Description

Product Description
Ada 95 is the first new version of Ada since 1983 when it was designated the official programming language of the Department of Defense. This book was specifically designed for those who need to quickly acquire an in–depth working knowledge of Ada 95. It provides readers with easy–to–follow, step–by–step guidance on all aspects of this powerful language. And, while all the other Ada guides devote, at best, a special chapter to this new version, Rendezvous With Ada 95 offers fully integrated coverage of all the language′s new features and characteristics. Written by an author who helped develop the new Ada language standard, it gives you:
∗ Expert guidance on powerful new Ada 95 constructs that support object–oriented programming,programming–in–the–large, and real–time programming
∗ Integrated coverage of all new features and improvements, including hierarchical libraries, type extension, classwide programming, general access types, and protected objects
∗ Detailed coverage of all Ada basics, from data types and control structures to subprograms and packages
∗ Presentation of advanced features, such as generics, tasking, hardware, interfacing, and exception handling
∗ Icons in margin to highlight Ada 95 features
∗ Numerous code examples and exercises to test reader understanding of key concepts

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptionally well-written and complete book., 10 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I've owned Rendezvous with Ada 95 for about three years and it is still my favorite Ada 95 book. I have purchased other Ada 95 books that I like but none of them is as clearly written as this book by Naidich. It is the first book I loan to friends who want to learn about Ada programming and it is the first book I refer to when I want to explore another capability of this wonderful programming language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, Complete, And Surprisingly Fun To Read, 30 April 1998
By A Customer
I bought the first edition of Rendezvous With Ada many years ago, and with it as my only guide was able to learn this fairly complex language within a few weeks. The flow of the text is excellent, moving from simple to more challenging topics at a good pace. Even better, every aspect of the language, down to the most minute detail, is not only explained, but is demonstrated in one of the many example code segments that lace the book. As an added bonus, the example code is often as humorous as it is lucid. Together with the general enthusiasm conveyed by the prose, the examples not only made learning Ada easier, but genuinely fun. In the second edition of the book Naiditch has included coverage of the newer Ada95 version of the language, not merely by adding a few paragraphs at the end of each chapter, but by a thorough rewriting of the entire book - a rewriting that considerably expanded the book's content, but in no way lost the delightful enthusiasm of the first edition. I've read several other Ada texts since; although all have their merits, none come close to matching this one.
