We Trainers cannot give investment advice or trading tutorials. I will move this to the Market Talk forum so others can offer their thoughts.

which investment objectives you have?
are you a risk orientated trader or more conservative one?

Try any of the books by Larry McMillan. That will give a good overview of options. Also try the CBOE website. They have a lot of educational info.

look at (URL removed by Moderator). For begginners I would just try to understand calls and puts , because all strategies are just a combination of how the buying and selling are combined.
Some options strategies can seem very complex , but everything consists of call/puts and how they are bought sold

I highly recommend "Getting Started In Options", Third Edition By Michael C. Thomsett.
It is an easy read with lots of examples and gives
you a thorough training that will prepare you for
trading options. To me it is a $3000 course in a
$19.95 book. (At least that's what it cost me when
I bought it a few years back). It is my only reference
when I have a question about options currently.

I highly recommend you forget options altogether.
Have a nice evening.

Yes, the book recommended by memorableproducts was my first option primer - excellent book. I don't think it could be made any more clear and easy to read format. Excellent price too.
I strongly disagree with sir bollinger band. Options have an enormous field of possibilities, not to mention the leverage you can give your trades. It is just that it gets too complex for some folks. Don't let complexity scare you. Read some books, ask questions to whomever you can, and learn about your options. They will give you and edge that many will envy they had.
What would calculus be without derivatives? We could apply the same to stocks and their derivatives (options)
good luck
