You might start by looking at the resources available from the AdaIC:

For AWS you may want to start by reading this:

http://www.adacore.com/adaanswers/gems/gem-29/

Then the user's manual and demos.

Of those, I still like and recommend:

John English - Ada 95: the Craft of Object-Oriented Programming

which is excellent for beginners.

The synctactic sugar that Ada 2012 brings to loops is explained in the
Ada 2012 Rationale, also on the same, most excellent web site :)

There is however a second part which is learning the toolchain (editor,
compiler, debugger).  If you're used to scripting on Unix then you must
already know the One True Editor, so you need only learn how to compile,
run an debug Ada programs.
