Teamers, I am pleased to announce that my book entitled "Ada Essentials: Overview, Examples and Glossary" is now available from Trafford Publishing, Victoria, BC and may be purchased at www.trafford.com. You can search their "Bookstore" using Ada as subject or Crawford as author, or you can go directly to www.trafford.com/robots/00-0035.html. The price is $23.95 (US approx.) or $36.85 (Canadian). This is a short (228 pages) book designed to help a person get started with the language by focusing on the essentials and providing lots of example short programs. There are six chapters, three appendices and a 20-page glossary/index. The first four chapters cover the essentials, while the last two provide brief introductions to Ada's support for OOP and concurrency, respectively. For those of you attending Ada Europe in Potsdam this week -- sorry I can't be with you, and feel free to pass the word about this book. ;-) It is my hope that this book will play a role in the future growing popularity of Ada. Once again, I want to thank Team Ada members who provided useful input to the earlier draft of the browser- based version (see web site below). Bard S. Crawford Stage Harbor Software www.LearnAda.com
