I learned Ada on the excellent Narain Gehani's book. It was brilliantly written and had full Ada 83 standard in an annex. So I could always check one text against another. These days I would recommend Ada 1995/2005/2012 Rationale by John Barnes, all of them. Maybe, in this very order, because Ada 1995 is much cleaner and easier to understand. Then, of course, Richard Rhiele's Distilled Ada. It is freely available and good if you come from the engineering side. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
