Once you learn Ada, a couple of quick looks at some Win32 examples should be
enough to transfer over knowledge you have in the C / C++ world for
programming Win32. If you don't have a background in Win32 programming then
things get a little more difficult. In that case I would first suggest
deciding what your goal is, to learn Win32 APIs or to just write Ada
software that runs on Windows. The two are different goals with different
paths.

If you are looking to write Ada software that runs on Windows, learn how to
use one of the GUI frameworks from http://www.adapower.com/windows

If you are looking to learn Win32, I would recommend Petzold's Programming
Windows and translating example by example to Ada as a start.
