Ada95: the Craft of Object-Oriented Programming
Prentice Hall Europe, 1996 (ISBN 0-13-230350-7)

This text teachs Ada by concentrating on a relatively small number of
examples which are capable of improvement and to refine them throughout the
book. The result is that the order of topics is primarily example driven; new
topics are introduced by adding extra 'bells and whistles' to existing
examples. The examples start with the traditional 'Hello world' program and
gradually get more and more elaborate, culminating in two reasonably sized
examples: an electronic diary and a spreadsheet. Although these are only about
a thousand lines of code each in their final versions, they nevertheless show
the sort of maintenance problems that arise in 'real world' applications and
illustrate how careful design can alleviate such problems.
