Hi,

in this case I would suggest, that you first start with console programming 
until you get some experience with programming in general and the Ada 
language in special.

I think it would be too much at a time if you want learn all at once: 
programming, Ada, *and* a GUI system. Maybe you will become frustrated soon.

Switch to GUI development if you've got some experience. 

If you want concentrate on Windows *and* Ada then look at GWindows. If you 
think about writing (Windows-)GUI not only with Ada but maybe with Pascal or 
C, too, then look at the pure Win32-Api which is used very similar with 
these other languages. If you think of (maybe one day in the far future) 
writing for Windows *and* Linux, then have a look at GTK which allows you to 
write portable GUIs.

I wish you much success.
