Hi,

I would like to recommend courseria App on mobile just install it and type "Bioinformatic " you will find many courses from notable universities around the world.

I agree with Hamad Ali Hamad, Coursera is a great place to learn a lot of stuffs! Most of them are free, but incase if you are interested in getting Certificate, you might need to pay (Its not really expensive!) Beside Coursera, you can also have a look at Udemy!

Best to start with R or Python? And when can you bring BASH into the picture?

I prefer Python, it is simple and powerful. You can learn both programing and bioinformatics with python. Also, biopython package will help you very much. Also you have to learn R for some different goals. Both of R and Python are necessary in bioinformatics. ‌But start with python.

For learning the bioinformatics I recommend the Coursera website, as others. Also visite the edx website.

But as start I recommend you to read this book:

Bioinformatics for Beginners

If you want to learn bioinformatics for phylogeny please read this book after "Bioinformatics for Beginners":

The Phylogenetic Handbook: A Practical Approach to Phylogenetic Analysis and Hypothesis Testing

There is no easy way. Better begin from linux script writing ,perl ,python.......

Good morning. Some basic stuff in bioinformatics for example, databases, logarithms, SQL, R, histogram etc. And then continue to more complex programming languages.

Basic knowledge of the UNIX/Linux operating system and use of command line is important. Hope this online introductory tutorials to the UNIX/Linux operating system will be useful;

I had excellent luck starting with

Asif - Great Question.

I'd like to recommend that you look at the resources recommended in the Biostar Handbook - here is a link: https://www.biostarhandbook.com/

This link is appropriate to your question since the handbook focuses on very general issues in computer programming (in particular R and python), but also focuses on very specific questions that bioinformaticians need to know.

Hope it helps.
