Oracle for Absolute Beginners: An easy-to-follow introduction to Oracle programming

This book, which began life as a hugely popular series of articles on the All Things Oracle site, introduces the reader to Oracle programming, from SQL and PL/SQL to the more academic subjects of database design, normalization and the characteristics of an effective developer.

Aimed at absolute beginners, with no background in programming - Oracle or otherwise - this book seeks to break down complex subjects with light-hearted and relatable examples; an approach that is close to unique amongst Oracle textbooks.
