Check out the "books" section at http://www.adahome.com for
a collection of reviews of various Ada books.  I like the
Cohen book _Ada as a Second Language_ but its approach may
not be the best for a beginner: it explains ALL of Ada 95.

Another good start is to download an Ada 95 compiler.
Three are available: GNAT (http://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat),
AONIX (http://www.aonix.com), and AppletMagic (which
produces Java byte codes for the Java Virtual Machine in
your browser; see http://www.appletmagic.com).

There are versions of each of these for the PC or Unix.
