I think you rather mean GTK introduction because GtkAda follows GTK to
the letter. There are few advanced topics of interplay between GtkAda
objects and GObject etc, but that is not required in the beginning.
Basically, you know GTK, you know GtkAda.
Regarding GTK introduction, it would require a genius to write that. GTK
is incredibly messy and full of small details you must know before you
started. I have no idea how anybody could summarize that in a compact
form. There exist various GTK "getting started." All of them, while
describing important things, miss minor details essential to write an
actual application. There seems no such thing as overview in the case of
GTK.
And things are far worse for those who get lured by GLADE. GLADE further
obscures what is going on, what has to be done. Be happy you did not
step into that...
