- Oracle Tech Net - Oracle Tech Net (OTN) is the starting place fo all thing Oracle. Sing up here and get your Oracle SSO account. You can also sign up for news letters and the forums.
- Speaking of the forums, Oracle Technical Forums - There are plenty of forums out on the net, some better than others. I have yet to find one as comprehensive or as full of quality information as the OTN forums.
- Oracle Blogs - I get plenty of information from blogs these days. If you work for an unenlightened company (like I do), most of your favorite blogs are probably blocked. However, the oracle.com domain usually isn't blocked so you can get to the oracle blogs whenever you want.
- Oracle Learning Library - Can't get training? Get some online. Not as good as a class maybe but a blessing if you're just getting started.
- Oracle Documentation - Take a trip to tahiti. This is the Oracle site for all the documentation you might need for the database, application server and collaboration site, by version number. If you need a version not shown here you can get it from the product site on oracle.com but you might want to think about upgrading.
- Oracle News Aggregator - Finally getting off the oracle.com domain, we hit ORANA, the Oracle News Aggregator. This is a blog aggregator for all things Oracle. Unfortuantely, it also includes a lot of non-database stuff but it's pretty easy to filter. You can sign up for RSS or, as I do, follow it on twitter and catch things on the fly.
- Oracle-Base - There are a lot of blogs out there, just like there are a lot of discussion forums. Browse around, visit OraNA and you'll find them. Oracle-Base is a little different as it's sort of a blog, document repository and forum all in one. Spend some time here and you might be surprised about the topics you'll learn.
*** Finally dont ever miss to bookmark asktom.oracle.com . I rely in Tom Kyte more than Tim Hall, but they both have the amazing ability to distill issues into simple essentials
