Learning optics

As I start to spend more time in photography, the more I realize I have little understanding of the underlying physics. Does anyone have advice about good sites, courses, books that cover introductory Optics aimed at photography?
Ideally I would like something that starts with simple lenses and builds from there.
Thanks.

Along with Jerry's recommendations, there are a number of videos on youtube. Some of these are recorded college lectures, which are quite good.
