There is also SPARK book

By McCormick and Chapin.

There's no too early as I've started not by using SPARK but by starting to =
learn predicate calculus from David Gries - The Science of Programming. And=
 as far as I can tell, Ada isn't as much present in universities as it were=
 during "Ada Mandate" by USA DoD. If you're learning it in an university, c=
