Title: Useful for individuals migrating from structured systems
Review: Most biological scientists are comfortable in Windows-based environments (Mac or Wintel) and can migrate from one to the other. They are also happy on the web. However, they aren't happy in the world of command lines and Unix text-based files and they certainly aren't happy if they actually have to interrogate datasets directly.This book does a fairly good job of explaining the basics of a lot of the fundamental computer issues and puts them in a biomolecular context. It also is quite broad in scope and so covers things that I certainly wasn't aware of, even though I would consider myself to have been involved in bioinfomatics for about 15 years.It is enjoyable as a refresher, as a starting point or just as something to broaden your horizons with. It will point you in the right direction to do what the title says, but it is certainly not the only book you will need!
