Hi guys,
I want to start learning ADA, but I'm not sure where to start. What should I
read first?
Is there any good free software (for Windows Linux) you suggested, any
really good tutorials, books etc.
I know there are a lot resources about ADA (I'm using Google all the time :)
but unfortunately I do not have enough knowledge to judge what's good and
what isn't.
Please help.

Thanks in advance
Damian

Welcome!
Get hold of the RM (from adaic.org) and Barnes'es textbook and/or
Rationale.
> Is there any good free software (for Windows Linux) you suggested
Get hold of the free compiler GNAT from AdaCore.
Good websites include adaic.org, libre2.adacore.com, adapower.com,
adaworld.com, adahome.com (historical).

You could try Ada distilled by Richard Riehle:

If you can find a library, check a few books, and see whether you
can work with one or two of them. As you know, not every book suits
every reader. A smaller amount of Ada books is available online,
likely linked on the pages mentioned so far.

Maybe you mean "Ada"? Then have a look at

Chapter "2.1 Getting Started" is what you are looking for.

You find a list of available compiler here:

and hence the informations are more current.
