Suggested BPM Composer tutorials anyone?

Question

I am having a bit of an issue with finding the learning tools I need. My office is starting with Oracle Middleware and with all the money such new technology costs, it has been decided to save money on training, that is to say... teach yourself. This does not work for me due to a cognitive disability, lets just say I am somewhat Autistic. I am keeping it generally as I do not believe I am the only person having issues with finding tutorials through Oracle (and the web at large) due to the pure massive amounts of tutorials, articles, forum posts etc. we need to search through. I am quickly overwhelmed and frustrated.
[private situation]
In my case, we were given a quick tutorial years ago to "Sell us" on the tools, then nothing. After waiting years for the technologies to be installed and running, I began re-learning what little I knew using JDeveloper. Then told only to use BPM Composer, then our installs failed and my project was dead for 3 months so I lost what I had learned and now am trying to recreate that knowledge train with changes in what we are using and a malfunctioning development area. A General mess in which to try to teach myself anything is what I am saying.
[The Issue]
The issue is this: There are so many way to use BPM, so many different technologies that work with it and 3rd part tools that at any one time different tutorials suggest different ways to do things and generally are based around a specific technology. Right now all I want is a simple tutorial on creating a BPM Process using a Web Service. For the life of me I cannot find one. I get pages of returns that do not really show me what I need, so hours of searching and reading just to find the current tutorial is not what I needed. Oracle originally sent us to the "Building Your First Process with Oracle BPM 11g" tutorial which failed for all of us way back when, now I can get further into it but is for JDeveloper. So I can transpose much of it into "Composer speak", but it is using ADF Forms when we need Web Forms and it is having you connect with data that is not web services based. Then there are those tutorials and videos that expect the student to have access to files that we do not if we just find it online.
[What I want]
Right now all I want to do is create a process that will take and languageID and PhraseID and return a greeting and what language it is from a web service I created. Once I have this and understand how the web service and process communicate, I can work in gateways etc until I have a test project that represents my actual project. Of course with no real training I am shooting in the dark and cannot even tell if my issues are my process or part of our continued installation issues. It just seems like it should not be this big of a deal to find training on connecting these two technologies.
[Question]
Can anyone here suggest any BPM Composer tutorials (JDeveloper may work too) that will explain to me or work me through creating a BPM Process that interacts with a web service?
Lastly I would just like to raise awareness that the whole structure of tutorials and training offered by Oracle is rather user unfriendly for people with cognitive issues. This is not meant negatively, I realize the amount of data Oracle offers, it is a big job making any form of useable structure from it. But maybe some thought could be put into other ways to make it easier for those of us with issues to find answers more easily. I appreciate what Oracle offers developers, but it is just a nightmare to find what I need when I need it.
Cheers, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Kyle,
I really understands your concern.With some limited feature with BPM composer it is best to start building BPM Process first from using Jdeveloper.
They we can move to web form which will give an more insight into BPM.
Please prepare to have some knowledge on ADF too. Its simple
To start with i would suggest below link:

Check this for Composer web forms:
