Hi Olivier

I recommend you visit my website (http://www.adaworld.com) and take a look
at the Learning Center / Free Books section.  My first link there is a pdf
file called Ada Distilled (Make explicitely to teach Ada to C++ programmers.

As for GUI you can have a look at http://libre.act-europe.fr/GtkAda/ for a
good GUI library.  and for a tool that uses it, visit
http://glade.gnome.org/

Hope this puts you one the right track :-)
