Ada 95 From the Beginning

Ada 95: From the Beginning is a book with a dual purpose: to teach the fundamental principles of good programming, and to provide an accessible introduction to Ada 95. No previous knowledge of programming is necessary. Ada 95 has been adopted as a standard by the ISO and the third edition of this best-selling book has been revised to reflect these changes in the language. Ada 95: From the Beginning, third edition features Ada 95 throughout, presenting most of the new features of the language, especially its support for object-oriented programming; gives a detailed treatment of data structures, algorithms and top-down design; discusses modular program development, packages and abstract data types; provides an introduction to software engineering principles; and includes a wealth of examples and exercises.
