• This book is a beginner's introduction to Ada 95. It uses an example-driven approach that gradually develops small programs into large case-study type programs. The focus of this book is on using object-oriented approaches to write maintainable, extensive programs. Important and unique ADA features such as exception handling, user-defined types, procedures, functions, and packages are covered early in the text.

• "Ada for Software Engineers" teaches the language as it is used in practice through relatively large case-studies such as a discrete event simulation. Advanced students and experienced programmers will find this style far preferable to a sequential explanation of the language rules. The presentation emphasizes the sophisticated features for object-oriented and systems programming that were introduced in new Ada 95 standard. An important feature of the book is a graduated introduction to the terminology and style of the language reference manual.

• The second edition of Programming and Problem Solving with Ada 95 is a continuation of a series of books for the ACM-recommended curriculum for CS1. It reflects the authors' view of the future direction of computer science education - more rigor, more theory, greater use of abstraction and modeling, and the earlier application of software engineering principles. As in the first edition, efforts are directed toward making the sometimes difficult concepts of computer science accessible to beginning students. The chapters contain numerous figures, short clear examples, and many exercises. Every chapter has one or more complete case studies that guide the reader through the complete specification, design, implementation, and testing steps of software development while promoting a straightforward, disciplined programming style.
