From your description of yourself as a programmer and the sort of language presentation you desire, I would think that the LRM itself would provide an excellent introduction for meeting your needs. The 2012 LRM can be found at http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/standards/12rm/html/RM-TTL.html. I personally find the LRM eminently readable, in general, although good books, online references, and the good people on Usenet can be very valuable, too. Also check out the Ada Rationale books for all the Ada versions, which explain why a feature was included and in many cases how it is meant to be used.
