The docs is definitely a great and easy to read resource. If you're looking for a class, you can check out the OTG group:

http://www.otg-nc.com/training-courses/coursedetail.php?courseid=40&cat_id=8

An online Postgres book (practical postgresql) can also be found at http://www.faqs.org/docs/ppbook/book1.htm

By Korry and Susan Douglas - a very good reference that I am using as I tackle specific tasks.  I think a good overview would help me as I basically

Thank you and I look forward to working with you through your mailing list.
