I agree about Ada books being outrageously expensive, however a (good!) book is usually better than online material when it comes to offering in-depth coverage of its subject.
Online material tends to fall either in the "quick tutorial" or the "newcomer-hostile authoritative reference" category, with little in-between for the intermediate learners. Unless you want to read "tip of the week" blog posts for a whole year, of course ;)
