You will find lots of book resources at: http://www.adapower.com/

There are descriptions and links there for a variety of books. Check it out.

A favorite of mine for a "get started in Ada quickly" book is "Ada
Essential: Overview, Examples and Glossary" which is bookmarked at Adapower.
(For your convenience: http://www.learnada.com/)

For a more in-depth view, I rather like: "Programming in Ada 95" by John
Barnes, but many others have recommended "Ada as a Second Language" by Norm
Cohen. (Sorry. Never read that one.) Both have good reputations as good,
general-purpose texts.

Other books you can investigate at AdaPower may deal with Ada from the
perspective of a special interest (OOP, Realtime, etc.). Look over the
bibliography to see what might best suit your needs.
