[Biodevelopers] resources for databases and tools

[Allen Henry]

I, personally, do not like this book but prefer
Mount's book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0879696087/qid=1054507590/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-2884123-9772038?v=glance&s=books

This is much more in-depth and contains a plethora of
databases and tools in every chapter. I also like
bioexchange.com for free downloadable tools.

I'm really confused as to how someone can actually get
a job in this field without knowing the basics. But
then again, you did not state this was actually a job.
:-) 

I received a Certificate, know these things, and am an
experienced Math/ Stats person, and still get
absolutely no nibbles. If anyone has any need, I'mn
able and willing to help!

I've come to the conclusion that this is a cultish,
religious, thing like Linux with no value proposition
(like businees). 

But I still enjoy it.
