I'm keen on learning about bioinformatics.

I am ideally looking for a short course introduction, with some practical tasks I can get my teeth into immediately to see if there is any interest in it for me.

I already have a good understanding of molecular biology, so I should be able to skip most of the foundational work.

Any suggestions?

I work as support staff in a Biology research institute as a student, and Perl seems to be used everywhere. Not for every single project, but it seems that more than half the people here have a few Perl books in/on their office/desk. Why is Perl used so much in Biology? >>> More
Bored with CS. What can I study that will make an impact?

So I'm going to an average university, majoring in CS. I haven't learned a damn thing and am in my third year. I've come to be really bored with studying CS. Initially, I was kind of misinformed and thought majoring in CS would make me a good "product creator". I make my money combining programming… >>> More
