From: John McCabe on 23 Apr 2008 03:57 Hi All Now that Burns/Wellings book has been out for a little while, can anyone suggest which would be the better book for someone who has used Ada a lot in the past (83 and 95) and wants to know more about using Ada 2005 in the real world? The title of Burns/Wellings books suggests that it might be best for me, as I develop embedded, concurrent real-time systems (currently in C++), but I wonder how much is specific to the changes involved in Ada 2005. Previously my favourite Ada book was Cohen's Ada As A Second Language. Any reviews/information etc gratefully received. John
From: Ludovic Brenta on 23 Apr 2008 05:08 Have you looked at the Ada 2005 Rationale by John Barnes? It concentrates on the changes in Ada 2005 rather than reintroducing everything. -- Ludovic Brenta.

I guess one of the problems is that, in the past, I found Barnes' books were of a "how to program a computer, and we'll use Ada to show you" rather than "oh, you already know how to program a computer, here's where Ada is different to what you might already know". I'm looking for more of the latter, i.e. I don't want the really basic stuff, but the Rationale (for someone who hasn't been using Ada regularly for about 7 years) is a bit too deep. Something in between would be nice (like Cohen's book was for Ada 95 !)
