Here's a collection of resources I started to collect for a friend who wanted to learn Mathematica. As it grew bigger It thought it would interest other people. Of course it's not exhaustive so feel free to reply with related links. Introduction http://www.wolfram.com/events/virtual-conference-2011/presentations/ http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/ http://documents.wolfram.com/flash/ http://vimeo.com/user4552113/videos Then: http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/5216/ProgrammingFundamentals.pdf http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl/Software/Downloads/Campus/TrainingMathematicaEnglish.zip http://www.mathprogramming-intro.org/ http://playingwithmathematica.com/learn-mathematica/ http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/HowToTopics.html http://www.verbeia.com/mathematica/tips/Tricks.html http://library.wolfram.com/conferences/devconf99/villegas/UnevaluatedExpressions.nb Basic advice for people new to Mathematica: avoid iterative programming using loops like For, use instead functional programming functions Map, MapThread, FoldList ... and pure functions. This makes the code cleaner and faster. http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/FunctionalProgramming.html http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/PureFunctions.html Wolfram Websites http://blog.wolfram.com http://twitter.com/#!/mathematicatip http://blog.stephenwolfram.com http://blog.wolframalpha.com http://www.mathematica-journal.com http://www.youtube.com/user/WolframResearch#g/a http://www.wolfram.com/learningcenter/tutorialcollection/ http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/Mathematica.html http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/search/?search_results=1;pages_count;search_item_type=21;search_field_1=conference;search_string_1=Free%20Online%20Seminars (Slides of seminars) http://www.wolfram.com/support/learn/ http://library.wolfram.com/ Personal websites/blogs http://12000.org/index.htm http://blog.matthen.com/ http://textanddatamining.blogspot.com/ http://playingwithmathematica.com http://www.weber-und-partner.com/resources/index.htm Forums: https://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica http://www.mathkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/mathematica/201107/1 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mathematica Interesing posts on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4198961/what-is-in-your-mathematica-tool-bag http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4721171/performance-tuning-in-mathematica/4723969#4723969 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4430998/mathematica-what-is-symbolic-programming Books: The Mathematica Book http://reference.wolfram.com/legacy/v5_2/ Mathematica Navigator Mathematica Cookbook Mathematica In Action The Mathematica GuideBooks Package for "preparing publication-quality scientific figures" http://scidraw.nd.edu/levelscheme/ Interesting (non-free) tools http://www.wolfram.com/products/workbench/ http://www.wolfram.com/products/applications/excel_link/
