@Sharon Faust a.k.a The Quickbase Junkie has a great set of training tools and she is a lively communicator. She puts out a bunch of free stuff and then sells others. That is the best way to have fun while you learn and she is soooo enthusiastic about Quickbase. (So am I, in person, but she is on video!).
