The best aspect of the book is the analysis of features and their interactions, providing a depth not available in other texts covering the entire language.

Assumes you know some Ada, but includes an introduction to the sequential part of the language.

I own quite a few books on Ada; this is the one to get if you want the details of Ada concurrency.

It covers,

1.?@The Ada Language

2.The Nature and Uses of Concurrent Programming

3.Inter-Process Communication

4.Ada Task Types and Objects

5.The Rendezvous

6.The Select Statement and the Rendezvous

7.Protected Objects and Data-Oriented Communication

8.Avoidance Synchronisation and the Requeue Facility

9.Using Protected Objects as Building Blocks

10.Exceptions, Abort and Asyncronous Transfer of Control

11.Tasking and System Programming

12.Real-Time Programming

13.Object-Oriented Programming and Tasking

14.Distributed Systems

15.Conclusion

Not only Ada programmers, but also all professonal software engineers who design real-time, embedded systems, advanced students of computer science, and even beginners should find it quite useful.

I've read the original print published in 1995, which has been out-of-print.

I am so happy to know it is now to be RE-PRINTed, and every programmers would be.
