Hah, I'll take your word for it, then. :) Are there any recent comprehensive monographs you'd recommend for state-of-the-art NPL, for someone who has yet to enter the field?

* Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing by Manning and Schütze
* Speech and Language Processing by Jurafsky and Martin (which is being revised for a third edition, which you can look at: https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/ )
Beyond that, you're basically stuck reading the research literature. On the up-side, most of that literature is freely available from the ACL anthology at http://aclweb.org/anthology/
Ah yes, the one I've heard about but still have to take. :) Well, I guess I should give Coursesa a chance. (Somehow I'm not fond of their "timelined" format, it seems redundant if you're communicating with a machine. I hope the future of online learning will avoid it like the plague.)
