When I was taking classes there, I appreciated the fact that I was
left to learn the tools outside of class, for the most part. It left
more time for covering the hard stuff in class. I still try to do a
combination of honing my skills with tools I know and learning new
tools with my UVSC projects, but learning new ones is pretty
time-consuming.

I'll work on compiling a list, then. I've got a lot of free
textbooks, research papers, etc. sitting on my hard drive, as well as
some URLs for online resources. If only I had time to work through
them all....
