Used Book in Good Condition
I keep a copy of Practical Computing for Biologists in my lab as a reference for students startiong out working with genomic data.
Even if you're just starting out in school, I recommend you take at least a couple programming course. There's a tremendous amount of work that can be done in biology/bioinfomatics.
If you want a good guide for getting started with analysis, I highly recommend the book Practical Computing for Biologists by Steven Haddock. I'd wait and try and find a cheaper copy though. I remember getting mine for about $35 or so last fall. It uses python as it's language of choice, which is fantastically quick to pick up.
Practical Computing for biologists is amazing. I recently started to learn to program and I can't express strongly enough how helpful this book was. Good luck.
Practical Computing for Biologists is a friendly introduction to the basics of using your computer to do things it didn't come pre-programmed to do.
