Fascinating stuff... and something I want to learn more about.

Can you please recommend me books/software applications/online courses for doing the work these guys were doing for Obama campaign?

(Just to clarify: I am a developer and I grok SQL. So that part is covered. Other parts... less so.)

I recommend Collective Intelligence, published by O'Reilly.

If you look online there's Ruby source code examples to go with the Python in the book.
