Perhaps if you were to start simple; work through some really basic program examples (Feldman's book at the intro level is quite good) and started learning "The Ada Way" of doing things you wouldn't find yourself so frustrated. Of course it's always easier to just curse the darkness - but I find that lighting a single candle usually improves things dramatically.
