Hi there.   
      
   I'm a young sociologist with a growing interest in computational   
   sociology, social modelling and agent-based simulation, and i wanted   
   to know where should i start to get a begginer's view of the field and   
   learn the different skills needed in it. For now, i'm taking courses   
   in data mining, and learning R and weka, and studying calculus and   
   algebra and other basic mathematical tools, but besides that, where   
   should i look? What readings or subjects would you recomend to a   
   begginer in AI and agent-based modelling?   
      
   Thanks!   
      
   Jose Tomas Atria.
