Programming and Problem Solving With Ada 95

Rating:
Summary: Good for beginners
Review: We had to buy this book as part of our university degree to help us learn the Ada Language. While it seems a little daunting at first it does a really good job at what it is for and that is to teach people how to program in Ada. :) The appendix at the back is extremely useful as is the index giving a clear and quick way to locate important information. Sometimes the book doesn't go into enough detail that you will find useful but overall it does a pretty good job.

Review: Well, recently completed my computer science course in Data Structures, this was one of the 2 books we used. John McCormick happens to be the teacher, and one of the Co-Authors of both books we used. I found the book to be pretty good in giving you some understanding of the language, and towards the end of class, me and some fellow classmates agreed with John on the fact that Ada would probably be a better first language for Colleges to use, since it really helps with building good habits simply with how the language is desinged.
