Resources for Ada

Books

Three Lists

We host the list of Ada 95 book reviews. Please note that most Ada-related books can be ordered from our Online Bookshop, the Ada Home Bookworm's Lair.

Mike Feldman, chair of the SIGAda Education Committee, has compiled an annotated list of Ada-oriented textbooks (mostly for Ada 83). Such textbooks are used successfully in undergraduate computer science courses.

The AdaIC has a large list of Ada-related texts (includes the following information: author, title, date, ISBN, sometimes price, and abstracts; no evaluations, no recommendations).

See also our bibliographies and collection of online Ada articles.
