    A good start would be to go through youtube videos, such as the DevCentral youtube channel. Check out things like John Wagnon's excellent videos.

    After you're comfortable with some of the topics, You can try going through the intro classes provided by f5:

    Once you feel pretty good about the product and the terminology, you could read through the LTM implementation guide and get comfortable with how to actually deploy a BIG-IP. Either buy a lab edition, or download a trial and deploy it in a test environment. Setup some HTTP servers and create some actual configurations and test it on your laptop, there's nothing like actually playing with the real deal!

     

    F5 is a complicated technology and there's no easy way to just learn it or be given configurations. It's very dependent on the systems it's integrated with, so there's no quick shortcut to becoming an expert.
