Product Description

Review
‘Everyone should read this excellent book, and every real-time Ada developer should own it … I highly recommend it.’ Computing Reviews

Product Description
A major feature of the Ada programming language is the facilities it provides for concurrent programming. Alan Burns and Andy Wellings provide here a thorough and self-contained account of concurrent programming in Ada, and so show users, even beginners, how to harness the full power of the whole language. After giving an overview of the non-concurrent features of Ada, the authors proceed to examine in detail the uses of concurrent programming and the inherent difficulties in providing inter-process communication. The Ada tasking model is then introduced; the way it deals with these and related matters is explained in a number of separate chapters, covering system programming, real-time issues, distribution, object-oriented programming and re-use. This is the first book which deals with concurrent features in the new Ada standard, and it offers practical advice to the programmer needing to use it for embedded systems, while those interested more broadly in the development of programming languages will find many otherwise inaccessible issues probed in depth. It will thus be of value to professional software engineers and advanced students of programming alike; indeed, every Ada programmer will find it essential reading and a primary reference work. For the paperback edition the authors have made revisions throughout the text, updating and correcting where appropriate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for Concurrent and Real Time aspects of Ada, 6 May 2009
By Arkapravo Bhaumik (London , United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The best read for the topic !

The Good things : (1) The book covers all real time /concurrent programming concept in Ada 2005/95 ! (2) The authors are stalwarts in this field of programming (3) The book is nicely printed and look good on the book shelf (4) May be the best book for Ada , if you already know some Ada (Introductory level with some OO Structures).

The Bad things: (1) The programs are not very complete and more of an algorithm , it would be ideal if the book came with a CD , perhaps the motivation is to work out the codes than just plug and play ! :)

All in all the book gets a 4.5/5 , all other texts in the topic (Ben-Ari ,Barnes etc) hardly covers such a wide range.
