Have you done programming before?  If yes, the best two books around are  
Norm Cohen's Ada as a Second Language, and John Barnes' Programming in Ada  
95.  Each serves well as a reference, but also expects a certain amount of  
programming savvy as a prerequisite.  But even if you've never programmed,  
these are both great references that you'll use later on.
