The Ada 2012 book by Peter Chapin looks promising, although I don't think 
he's finished it (https://github.com/pchapin/tutorialada). There is a PDF 
version of it available on-line.

Otherwise, I recommend Ada Distilled 
(https://www.adaic.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ada-Distilled-24-January-2011-Ada-2005-Version.pdf) 
[Ada 2005], and the Craft of Object Oriented Programming 
(http://archive.adaic.com/docs/craft/craft.html) [Ada 95], depending on the 
programmer's level. These are all written in the text book style, and are 
all available for free on the Internet. I don't think you miss too much 
learning with an Ada 95 book first (most of the newer stuff is fairly 
obvious, or needs a text book of it's own.

The Wikibook is also a good choice 
(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming), but you do have to be 
on-line to use it (the others are downloadable and thus usable locally).

I find the Barnes book to be too much of a good thing (sorry, John!). When 
John gave me a copy at a Paris ARG meeting, I put it on my lap to look 
through it (since my hotel room was tiny), my legs got numb after not very 
long. I know better than to put it on a body part again. :-) I'd recommend 
it as a reference for serious Ada programmers, since it tries to cover 
everything (the latest version has an Ada 2022 appendix).

                               Randy.
