>I don't currently have access to an Oracle installation, but I'd like to get some experience programming with an Oracle backend. Is there such a thing as a "Developer's Edition" or something like Microsoft's MSDE available for those who just want to get their feet wet with Oracle? How much would it cost and where could I get it?

Del,
You can download the Personal Edition. Check it on Oracle's website (http://otn.oracle.com/software/content.html). I hope you have a high-speed connection.

HTH.
