I'm a longtime programmer who's been learning Ada recently, and I have found
two books to be especially useful.  They are:

"Ada for Software Engineers" by Ben-Ari.  When I read this book I always feel
as though the author is at my side, pointing out all kinds of helpful
information and connections that I'd missed in other books.  A very useful
book.

"Ada as a Second Language" by Cohen.  A very comprehensive book, with all the
detail I could want.  This is my first "goto" book whenever I have a question.

It is interesting (and sad) that programmers who are unfamiliar with Ada form
such poor opinions of it.  I am finding it to be a delightful and elegant
language, and hope to use it on our next large project.
