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.
