I shall definitely take a look at the video. If you are John McCormick, coauthor of the two books on Ada, well I would like to thank you for writing these books on Ada, I have both of them though I have only covered the first chapter in your Data Structures book. OO features are described as from Chapter 2 and I'll study it in due time. Thanks YC

It is always nice when someone notices a book author's name. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions on the material in the books. The OO material in the data structures book is elementary. Check out the Barnes or Ben-Ari books for an in depth treatment. Should you want to go on to learn about Ada's concurrent features, I have a new book coming out at the end of the year: Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada, www.cambridge.org/9780521197168 It is aimed at introducing the topics to novices with a background in sequential programming.

Hi, I think the link to this new book should be http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521197168 Take care, Michael. |
