Start by heading to http://www.adaic.org/learn/ and
http://www.adaic.org/learn/materials/#ada_95_books
On that last page there are 3 Ada95 ebooks - that's a start! :-)
Also wiki has lots of links (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/
Ada_Programming including http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Basic)
is or Rosetta (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Ada) may be
useful.
