Hi,

I just stumbled across this thread (I haven't been here a while).  Hence the very late reply.

The book is pretty much the same as my "Introduction to Ada Programming".  The one key advantage in the Apress version is that the Index is much much much better now.  Also, I feel like that the formatting is vastly improved than what it was before.

Lastly, by going with Apress, it improves the status and visibility of Ada.  It's no longer the language of someone that programmed when Reagan was president.  It gives it a new feel of vitality and drives home the point that Ada is not "dead".

I'm under contract with Apress for a 2nd edition for this book.  That one will have much more information (such as a chapter on making GUIs).  I'm still working on that one.
