The most important difference between Oracle and MS SQL Server is probably the Oracle read consistency model and associated row locking model.

You can find this described in the Concepts manual, which is normally the place to start. However if you are a developer rather than a DBA and have limited time you might jump to the Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals, which repeats much of the information of most interest to developers such as the Oracle data types, triggers, and constraints as well as talking about the supported interfaces to Oracle: JDBC, OCI, and pl/sql. But first, if you read nothing else in the Concepts manual read the chapter on data concurrency.

If time allows read all of each of these before you start. If time does not allow then grab one these manuals and read every chance you get while you work because the work will be much easier with the knowledge you gain from these manuals.
