Good Practical Resources/Workshops to get started on BPM/ADF for 11g?

Question

i'm looking for some hands on practical resources to get started with BPM/ADF and preferably SOA too, is there any site like mkyong or vaannila? I do have a background in Java and MVC Programming, but have zero experience on Oracle Suite besides the Database itself, including the Jdeveloper IDE.

Thanks!

As for "hands-on" that will be tough. I recommend the ADF Insider Series on Oracle's site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html

as well as these tutorials: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/toc.htm

Free download here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html

and these sample apps: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/index-098948.html

I think this is a good book to get started: http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-JDeveloper-11g-Handbook-Development/dp/0071602380/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301065987&sr=8-1

Pre-built VMs (Virtualbox) here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html

BPM is a much different animal than ADF.
