While it's Ada95, this is still a good intro:

http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/docs/craft/html/contents.htm

Then just add in the extra features from 2005, interfaces, extended return, etc.

Then just add in the extra features from 2012, contracts, expression functions, etc.

...and you're pretty much set.

AFAIK, that book is being updated to 2012, but I don't know when it'll be done or who's doing it.
