Title: Very bad title
Review: It is a cardinal sin to tack an inaccurate title to a piece scientific writing, but that's what happened here. The title "Bioinformatics Computer Skills" seems to imply that the book will teach *skills.* It would be better titled "Bioinformatics Computer Resources," and it does a pretty good job of trying to describe the areas where IT and biology overlap, although that is a vast undertaking for a slim book. And this book does not replace any standard reference in either field.For the programmer, this book will steer them towards major resources for bioinformatics. For the biologist, there are thumbnail descriptions of important programming tools, minus the IT handwaving argle-bargle.But in no sense does it build "skills." There's not enough biology here to benefit a programmer, and there's not enough IT to benefit a biologist. This book will not prepare either a biolist or programmer to do even simple tasks.
