There is a book called "Ada as a second langauge", but it reads more like a
reference and book of examples. If you are planning to do work in Ada83
exclusively, I recommend you buy the older Ada 83 edition because you will
have to differentiate between 83 and 95 in the new edition.
You should also get a copy of the Ada 83 LRM and/or Ada 95 LRM.
For a tutorial, alot of people like th Barnes book. I started with Booch
because it was given to me for free.
