I agree about Ada books being outrageously expensive, however a (good!) boo=
k 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 "newcom=
er-hostile authoritative reference" category, with little in-between for th=
e intermediate learners. Unless you want to read "tip of the week" blog pos=
ts for a whole year, of course ;)
