Many others have said that if u want to go into software ur best bet is medical software.i just want to support this view.i am a chemical engineer and write software for chemical engineers which is a niche area and uses my knowledge of chemical engineering and allows me to pursue my interest in programming.
Mit ocw is a good place to learn but remember that no one learnt computers just by reading about them. U must learn to use many different packages and also some programming languages.
Just try to find out what kinds of softwares are available for meds and more importantly what are the softwares u wish for but havent been written yet!
