Thought that this would be a good place to post resources for Oracle/JDBC from beginners to advanced. Please feel free to add to the list of links with an explanation of what can be found at each link:
Here's my list:
download your oracle drivers at
http://technet.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html and follow the download procedures
enable the client to connect(set environment)
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/java.817/a83728/05confi3.htm#1003460 To find all the Oracle specific code that you could ever need
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html -->look for the "JDBC Samples" links
If you just want code snippets that explain various tasks, this is a good link too:
