Having recently left a university, I can attest that schoolbooks are still =
a thing, and that includes textbooks on computer programming. I recently in=
herited from a member of this forum a nice textbook on Data Structures in A=
da, but it was based on Ada 95, and I'm not sure it's in print anymore. In =
fact, and alas, only three of the Ada-based textbooks I find "easily" on Am=
azon date from the early- to mid-90s, and of the three recent ones I find, =
only the Barnes book is of good quality.

I'd be delighted if someone would prove me wrong.
