You Asked

Hello i just wanted to ask you a question. Can you please provide me some good online oracle books, tutorials or courses of the dba technologies like RMAN, Golden Gates, Exadata, Data Guard, Data pump and RAC? thanks.

Book writing seems to have dropped off due to the rapid change of pace in tech, but in terms of solid core fundamentals (even though the deep internals may have changed)

Oracle High Availability, Disaster Recovery, and Cloud Services
Expert Oracle Exadata

are a couple of older books that I think still cover the fundamentals well.

Also check out Oracle LiveLabs - plenty of free tutorials and workshops that let you go hands-on

Of course the standard oracle documentation (docs.oracle.com)

And some popular blogs

DataGuard https://www.ludovicocaldara.net/
GoldenGate https://blogs.oracle.com/authors/veeratteshwaran-sridhar/
