Oracle WTF
Another great way to learn Oracle is to study mistakes.
Generally people have (misguided) reasons behind their mistakes, and studying them can improve your understanding of Oracle. As such I'd like you to check out a new blog out there dedicated to the most spectacular misunderstandings of Oracle:
http://oracle-wtf.blogspot.com/
It's written by William Robertson, James Padfield, Thai Rices, Adrian Billington and inspired by http://thedailywtf.com.
Another advantage of this blog, as compared to the 20-plus (and growing) other Oracle blogs out there, is you a more likely to get a laugh out of it. Or at least a good cry.
For those of you who enjoy the Dizwell Forum, I have gotten into the habit of posting the occasional WTF there myself:

By the way, "WTF" stands for "What the F." As in "What the F was the developer thinking?" :)
