Ada 95 -- Ada 2005 -- Ada 2012

newbie:

i'm learning Ada now using an Ada 95 book…

question:

is the object oriented features so different in Ada 2012 that i should not use a book teaching Ada 95, the book is the second edition by Koffman and Feldman "Ada 95: Problem Solving and Program Design"

I was reading the Ada Style Guide and got to the part about Object Oriented features and realized how dated this document might be.

From Ada Style Guide:

"Chapter 9 defines a set of guidelines in common objected-oriented terms that exploit some of the features of Ada 95 that are not in Ada 83. The guidelines discuss the use of the new Ada
features of type extension (tagged types), abstract tagged types, and abstract subprograms to implement single inheritance, multiple inheritance, and polymorphism."
