Completely New to this!

[jamie2271]

Hello.

I am currently CompTIA A+ Certified, I'm about to take my Network+ and then go onto my MCP.

I have seen quite a few jobs that need an understanding of Oracle.

I am completely new to this, I do have a book that extremely THICK!

Does anyone have any material that is useful to learn the subject? Any videos or anything like that?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Nothing beats hands on. You can download Oracle for free from

http://www.Oracle.com

as long as it's not for commercial purposes. Just wanting to learn it makes is a freebie for you.

Get a PC with a lot of memory and a big hard disk (couple hundred Gig). Install Linux or Sun Solaris for x86 (also a free download from

http://www.sun.com).

Download Oracle. Use your books to install, configure, and "play" with it.

You'll learn a lot more doing that than just reading a THICK book, and all it costs you is the cost of a PC and some time. And maybe some more books if you find the one you have isn't that good.

Good luck!
