I recently bought (starting with Ada as well) '95 version of Barnes -
got it very cheaply (>10GBP with shipping) and I believe and was told so
it's still quite relevant.

Here are some links:

a) Ada 95: The Craft of Object-Oriented Programming (http://archive.adaic.com/docs/craft/html/contents.htm)

b) Writing Ada Bindings for C Libraries - 3 parts (http://flyx.org/2012/06/13/adabindings1/)

c) Generating Ada bindings for C headers (http://www.adacore.com/adaanswers/gems/gem-59/) 

d) Ada-Python Binding (http://www.inspirel.com/articles/Ada_Python_Binding.html)

e) Ada Programming wiki book (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming)

Hope it helps. ;)
