Hi plink,

For a total beginner, my recommendation is "Ada 95: The Craft of
Object-Oriented Programming" by John English. It is available online
here[1]; there are several other books[2].  In your first reading, you
can skip the part about tasking; instead, you should then learn about
the standard Ada.Containers that were added in Ada 2005; the Ada 2005
Rationale[3] contains a good introduction to them in Chapter 8.

As for getting a compiler and development environment for your
computer, see the extensive list[4] in the Ada Programming
wikibook[5]:

I realize this is a lot of material; hopefully this is all you will
need to learn the basics of language.  Feel free to come back here on
comp.lang.ada if you have any more questions.

Hope this helps
