The Big Online Book of Linux Ada Programming contains over 200 pages
devoted to Linux development using the GNAT (GCC-based) Ada 95 compiler,
one of the most feature rich and powerful open source development tools
for Linux.  The book covers:

  * tips for C programmers
  * introduction to available Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
  * compiler installation
  * coverage of many standard Ada libraries
  * integrating Ada and C code, including Linux syscalls
  * an Ada tutorial
  * plenty of examples, from playing audio CDs to using TCP/IP sockets
  * extensive comparisons between Ada and C

This book has been used with introductory Linux programming courses.

The book has been upgraded with a new section on CVS, more coverage of
Linux syscalls, corrections for the gnat 3.12p compiler and a useful
search feature.
