Even though it is out of date by now, I still like and recommend the
free book by John English, "Ada 95: the Craft of Object-Oriented
Programming".  This is a gentle introduction to Ada as a first
programming language and it is not overwhelming.  Professionals and
die-hard enthusiasts can always learn from the reference manual :)
