• Computational Modeling and Complexity Science - An excellent, free (though not-quite-finished) PDF guide to the concepts and programming techniques needed to develop models of complex systems, from graphs and small-world networks to cellular automata and agent-based models. Uses Python, which I'd highly recommend for beginner and experienced programmers alike: it's great to read, easy to maintain, and makes coding fun again.

Presupposes some basic working Python knowledge, which is provided by a second of the author's free ebooks, Think Python.
