The ultimate Ada95 book, if you are experienced programmer.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Over two years back, I had to write and test huge amount of code (about 200-330K LOC) in Ada 95 (I had over 8 yrs. Ada 83 experience) in very short time. A colleague suggested to use this book. It has helped me in every way. The book contains very clear explanations about all the new concepts in Ada and it also covers the real-time issues, OOP, low-level multilingual programming, distributed programming etc. Although, it was written for the "C" programmers who are new to Ada, I have since then worked on two more major programs and this is the only Ada95 book I am continuously using together with the Ada 95 LRM.
The best book on Ada 95.

This book is the best Ada 95 book in the market. It covers everything about Ada 95 (core language plus all six specialized annexes). Chapters are presented in a tutorial format. Examples in the book are practical and realistic. Best of all you learn features of Ada 95 with a tremendous clarity. What is unbelievable is the ability of the author to teach you some complex topics in a step by step manner leaving no room for confusion. This book is complete in every way and entertaining. If you are a serious Ada developer this is a MUST BOOK. I use this book to teach adavnced Ada 95 classes.
The First book I always "goto" for help in Ada95
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The first edition of this book was my second Ada83 book, but quickly became my favorite. The only way to have improved on the original was to write another about the new and improved Ada standard, Ada95. I have recommended this book to numerous co-workers, both new to the language and old timers, and all agree this is among the best. The sections at the end of each chapter explaining the differences from Ada83 are helpful for those of us familiar with Ada95 but are still using Ada83. The examples in the book are excellent and provide just enough information to solve specific questions without getting bogged down in the details. I have used the first edition through the second from student to professional and look forward to a third some time in the next century.
Very Nice!

After starting with the online Ada Lovelace tutorial, I wanted to find a nice detailed book and found Cohen's 2ed to be excellent. It is full of good stuff (heck, >1000 pages!) and even covers system programming.
