Like leanring to play all instruments, getting a Private Instructor, prefferably a professional, is the best way to learn.
However, if cannot afford to have a private instructor, reliable websites, music books (specifically for Oboe), and reed makers as well as your band director (MIGHT) provide good info on learning the oboe.
I've been playing Clarinet for 40 years and just switched over to oboe 4 months ago. I was able recently to play in our church orchestra with little difficulty. So, the answer is no. The oboe is not a hard instrument to learn as long as you have other musical experience (at least it has not been for me.)
It is in C. That is not to say that that is the easiest key to play in - that is probably G or D!

The oboe is a better instrument to play. I play it and it was very fun to learn. The Oboe isn't as common as the violin so many people ask me to demonstrate it because they have never heard it before. Plus if you are looking for a job as an oboe player it is easy to get the job because there isn't many oboe players.So the OBOE is better than the VIOLIN.

The Oboe has a double reed, which are two reeds basically put together and held by twine. These reeds are very hard to play and take a while to learn.

One of the easiest ways to learn how to cook rib roast is through a recipe. Another way is to learn from a chef or to even ask from tips from places one enjoys their rib roast.

The easiest way is to take lessons. But if you want to be self taught, you just learn to read tablature, pick an artist that you like and start playing. Being self taught is a "learn as you go" thing.
Everyone has a different way of learning. For me, the easiest way to learn computer science is hands on. I am not good with books or studying.
