Ada books for 1996
Kenneth Mays
Since I've been reading your messages for the last few months now on
BAD Ada books, I thought I would share my collection of books in the
market. You can
use the GNAT Ada95 free compiler or Visual Ada 95 for most of this
stuff. if you want to know something more abuot Ada, let me know and
I'll try to look it up for you.
