* Android. Built a really tiny but useful app after reading up tutorials from a gazillion places in a couple of weeks. I still don't have a very good hang of the architecture or the most optimal way to do things. Any recommendations on this this front would be very helpful.

* Computer Graphics. This is one area of computer science I am really interested in and wrote my undergraduate dissertation in. I want to go back to the basics and get up to speed with the new trends in the field. Again, need recommendations on how to proceed with this.

* Become a Python Ninja. Python is one language I am really comfortable with and whenever I can't get anything done, I go back to Python. There are still several facets of this language I need to explore.

And lastly, I need to quit my current job and work on something that lies somewhere in those^^ areas.

I gave a talk on Android and Graphics at Google, which you may find interesting. I am also learning python and machine learning

Your slides have a good overview and can be very useful for 101-102 sessions :)

But this isn't what I'm looking for. I have a bird's eye view, I can build apps, I can make games. But that doesn't make me a good Android Developer or an expert in computer graphics. I need recommendations for texts/courses in these fields.
