Requires Free Membership to View
Start by reading the "free" Oracle documentation. You can get to the complete set of Oracle documentation at technet.oracle.com. Membership is required to access the documentation but is quick and easy to complete and is free of charge.
The first two documents to read are the Concepts guide and the Application Developers Guide - Fundamentals. Both should give you a good overview of Oracle and some info on Oracle architecture and development guidelines.
You can find a world of introductory books on Oracle and it's hard to say which might be best for you. Stop by your local bookstore and look through the Oracle section. A good all-purpose book that I really like is "expert one-on-one Oracle" by Tom Kite. It's good whether you're looking into DBA or developer information but particularly is useful from the developer perspective.
You can also find lots of good links to Oracle-related Web sites via most Internet search engines (Google, Excite, Yahoo, etc).
