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...
