I understand. But if you're going to ask a community like this for help, it usually helps to show that you've done some leg-work of your own already. Otherwise you risk having your question come off as a variation of "do my homework for me".
Saying "I read these 6 blog posts, and came up with these 3 ideas about how to start, but I'm not sure how to pick between them", for example, would be a question that people would generally be more motivated to respond to. YMMV of course.
FWIW, to give you one concrete suggestion, the Programming Collective Intelligence book is pretty good.
