Does anyone know of sources for learning bioinformatics, focused on genomics? I would like to learn alota lot of skills I could apply potently in the workforce if I ever became adept at the fields. My computer science knowledge is weak, and my biology knowledge is mediocre, but iI find the topics to be interesting. 

I have read "The dynamic Genome, A Darwinian ApproachApproach", by Fontdevila, and it was a bit rough for me. I have also read some of a introduction to genomics textbook, by Arthur M Lesk, and found it to be very "Academic""academic".
