Versant -- Where to start?

Greetings, all.

I've just been moved to a position where I'll be "owner" of an application (Borland's CaliberRM) that runs on a Versant database. It would probably be a good idea for me to have a crash-course in understanding Versant databases.

Our friends at Google can point me to all kinds of people who would be happy to teach me what I want to know in their three-day classes. Are there any free starters or tutorials out there anyone can recommend? Or, can anyone point me toward a particularly good reference book for Versant beginners?

Thanks!

Thanks for the input.

I understand that, in general, using CaliberRM requires no knowledge of Versant, and certainly CaliberRM and the Framework Administrator are where I'll be spending most of my time.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that at some point, I'm going to have to know something about how Versant is handled, perhaps while upgrading servers, or during a CaliberRM upgrade. In any case, it's better to know something you don't need to know than it is to try to recover from some unexpected catastrophe with no idea where to start.
