Programming in Ada 95

About

Features

Written by a key member of the original Ada design team, Programming in Ada 95 is destined to be the definitive text and reference for programmers and students alike. Since its precursor, Programming in Ada, was published over 120,000 programmers have learned Ada from Barnes' book.

With the advent of the new ISO standard, Ada 95 becomes the first fully objectoriented programming (OOP) language to be internationally standardized. Its power and flexibility makes it suited to a wide range of complex applications, from process control and industrial design to telecommunications and diagnostic analysis.

Barnes provides complete tutorial coverage of Ada 95, illustrated with many complete programs highlighting the power of objectoriented programming and the security of a modern software engineering language.

"...destined to become the classic text on Ada 95"

From the Foreword by S. Tucker Taft, Technical Director of the Ada 95 Design Team
