This is an unusual way to go about it. Getting things to work on a 
micro-controller involves a number of difficulties that interfere with learning 
the language. I would recommend that you first learn the language in a typical 
desktop environment, and only once you are comfortable with it add the 
complications of the micro-controller environment.

There are several tutorials and other material for general-purpose Ada learning 
on the Ada Information Clearinghouse:

There's also the Ada Tutor Ada-95 tutorial at
