Hi :) I used Access quite a lot and Base seems quite similar. Once you have grasped the fundamentals and if you are already familiar with spreadsheets then that makes Base quite easy to understand.
There are a few places that do offer training specifically in Base although they seem reluctant to mention LibreOffice preferring OpenOffice as the 'more professional' [1] - http://documentation.openoffice.org/tutorials/index.html [2] - http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/ [3] - http://www.learnopenoffice.org/ [4] - http://inpics.net/ The inpics website seems dead now and their "Contact Us" page is a dead-end going to email addresses that don't exist anymore.

Certainly, I don't have any kind of experience with databases at all. So I can't write anything about this topic. And I guess, that others feel similar. There was a tutorial mainly written by Mariano Casanova, I'm not sure, where this has ended up.
