Understanding Ada: A Software Engineering Approach

Designed for advanced undergraduates majoring in computer science, software engineering or computer engineering, this text treats all important aspects of Ada (statements, types, subprograms, packages, exceptions, generics, tasks, input/output, representation clauses, compilation rules, and Ada programming support environment). Discusses not only the rules and features of Ada, but also the reasons behind the rules, to show how Ada can contribute to reliable, understandable, and reusable programs.
