Anyone to start using RMAN, the best thing in my view is to start with

famous metalink note

Getting Started with Server-Managed Recovery (SMR) and RMAN

50875.1

The note is for older version and is not updated but it does provide a very good explanation of RMAN concepts ( backup set, backup piece , retention , catalog, record_keep_time importance and various reporting functionalities etc )

Further

It is better from 9i onwards to configure controlfile autobackup on rather than manually taking the backup of controlfile

(neways in recent version ( >= 9i ) controlfile is always backed up when you take backup of file1 ...system datafile)
