I cannot recommend my book "Ada Plus Data Structures" for learning Ada.  It=
 is targeted at CS2 (2nd course in computer science) students.  It assumes =
that you already know the control structures and some of Ada's type model. =
 It then teaches the basic data structures.  Only a brief introduction to A=
da's OO capabilities.  Really a beginning level book best paired with my in=
troductory book "Programming and Problem Solving with Ada".

Since I have damned one of my books, I will recommend another that includes=
 an introduction to Ada for folks who have skills in other programming lang=
uages.
