Learning Oracle?

I have come to the point where I feel that I know all there is to know about Microsoft Access database development. I realize that the two DBMS's are quite different but I would like to move onto Oracle. So far I have become quite frustrated with Oracle (or my lack of understanding of Oracle). I don't know where to start - the new concepts are very foriegn to me. I want to be able to develop local databases with Oracle, just as I have been doing in Access or Visual Basic 6. Is there a book out there that will give me a good primer on Oracle database developement?
Thanks,

If you're serious about learning Oracle and are willing to put some $ where your post is I highly reccomend the NETg CBT series. They're not cheap but they teach you what you need to know without wading through excessive verbage (a la Oracle Press). Also, (again) if you're serious I'd try to do my hands-on on UNIX (or at least Linux) as the demand for NT Oracle people isn't nearly as great (may get flamed for this part).

just my 2c/never to be humble opinion
 
Thanks DBAwhosaysNIE,
I like your honest opinion - that's what I was looking for. I'll look into what you have suggested.
