If you go on Amazon and read = the first chapter in the preview mode of the book, I talk about this The only difference to me is how this topic should be taught. I prefer to = wait after introducing the basic types. Ada has an amazing type system and= it can do great things. But it=E2=80=99s a complex topic and I want to in= troduce it in a different way than is usually found in most books.
