there's not much to it. you can get a book and learn it overnight. 
all you need are Maxwell's Equations (there are only four of them) and you have a complete description of E&M.

Ah, if only I known that when I started.
Gelf, get a book. Even R B-J can't explain everything about E&M in this thread.
