Publisher's Synopsis
This introduction to the ADA programming language is suitable for use at any level. It assumes no previous knowledge and covers all the main features and concepts of the languge.;The type system is introduced in two stages: firstly, at a basic level to enable the reader to actually run programs at an early stage; then at a more detailed level. It is recommended that Chapter Four ("Further Types") is re-read after Chapter Nine ("Packages") because of their interaction.;Where appropriate, chapters include a "Big Picture" section to give an overview, taking the reader beyond the subset. Key points are summarized at chapter ends and problems are set.;This book is part of a series which comprises slim, inexpensive books which individually focus on single key aspects of computer studies, but collectively cover the content of most degree courses, however they are structured.
