There are a number of books available in English at least which will address Ada itself as well as Ada in specific application domains. You might look at the "books" section of http://www.AdaPower.com/ for a few references. If you've learned how to program better C code from having studied Ada, then you have definitely learned something valuable. One reason for studying languages like Ada is to understand concepts which may be possible in other languages, but are not as directly supported.
