The definitive text on the new version of Ada – Ada 2005 – written by one of the language’s creators. Barnes is to Ada what Kernighan & Ritchie are to C, or as Stroustrup is to C++. Previous editions have sold over 150,000 copies.
Although the British grammar of sometimes-contorted sentence construction gets in the way, this book presents Ada as a thoroughly thought-out pleasure and as a well-designed software-engineering achievement.
