Well if you want to learn the science, you can just pick up a science book. I know many users here have good suggestions. But if you are specifically looking for scientific computing those generally talk about code basics. There are also numeric programming books. If you're trying to get into those studies I suggest going through a numerics book because the techniques will be similar among any of the code. But you'll have to spend time learning the non-coding parts as well. In science coding is just a tool.

Woah, Rosalind looks awesome- like project euler for bioinformatics. Thanks for sharing the link.

Thanks for sharing Rosalind! If you (or anyone else) knows similar projects in bioinformatics or any other fields, do let me know!
