I've had much benefit from studying this link:

http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Ada

Sort of a cookbook project.  :o)

I feel just like you! I'm also a beginner, and I've had much trouble 
finding material for what you call "hobbyists".

It seems as if most Ada related literature is written for people with 
extensive programming knowledge - there's not much to go on for the 
average "wet behind the ears" beginner.

Perhaps we should see if we can round up all the newbies out there, and 
combine our efforts? We could help make the Ada Wiki more newbie 
friendly.  :o)
