Take a look at "Lovelace". My posting to comp.lang.ada on 20-Jan-1995
is repeated below.

=============================================================

I've just released "Lovelace", a free on-line tutorial for Ada 95 that
I've developed.  All you need to use it is a World Wide Web (WWW)
viewer (such as Mosaic or Netscape) and access to the Internet.

Lovelace explains the basics of the Ada programming language.
It assumes that you have had some exposure to some other
algorithmic programming language (such as Pascal, C, C++, or Fortran).

Lovelace teaches the latest version of Ada, termed `Ada 95' or
`Ada 9X', but it does note differences where they occur with the previous
version of Ada (termed `Ada 83' or `Ada 87').

To use Lovelace, start your favorite WWW viewer and
"open" the following URL:
    http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/Tutorials/Lovelace/lovelace.html

Lovelace is also available from the Ada WWW server home page at URL:
   http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/
in category:
   ``For those discovering Ada or who want to experiment'',
as the bulleted item:
   ``a free online tutorial on Ada 95''.

Comments & suggestions are welcome, as are volunteers
who would like to expand it.
