Bioinformatics is developing very rapidly. With new tools and software it is, now a days, easy to analyse the large scale genomics datasets. But we need to understand the background of software/tool to better explain the data computationally.
I found this online bioinformatics courses really interesting where they are covering the common algorithms underlying the following fundamental topics in bioinformatics: assembling genomes, comparing DNA and protein sequences, predicting genes, finding regulatory motifs, analyzing gene expression, constructing evolutionary trees, analyzing genome rearrangements, and identifying proteins.

MIT also provide a really impressive bioinformatics courses. This interdisciplinary course provides a hands-on approach to students in the topics of bioinformatics and proteomics. Lectures and labs cover sequence analysis, microarray expression analysis, Bayesian methods, control theory, scale-free networks, and biotechnology applications. Designed for those with a computational and/or engineering background, it will include current real-world examples, actual implementations, and engineering design issues. Where applicable, engineering issues from signal processing, network theory, machine learning, robotics and other domains will be expounded upon.

EBI also provide handon training and workshop in bioinformatics. You can find more information at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/handson
Bioinformatics Training Network (BTN) comprises individuals involved in the provision of bioinformatics training. You can find more detail at http://www.biotnet.org/
It contain several bioinformatics PPT, PDF etc
There is good training material avaialble at http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/training.html
Mostly I use the http://genome.ucsc.edu/training.html for good and informative tutorial.
This website provide collection of articles, tutorials and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics, Clustering, Linux and Genome Analysis. https://www.scfbio-iitd.res.in/tutorial/bioinformaticstutorial.htm
Learning bioinformatics usually requires solving computational problems of varying difficulty that are extracted from real challenges of molecular biology.
To make learning bioinformatics fun and easy, the Rosalind platform was build for learning bioinformatics through problem solving.

Pharmaceutical bioinformatics is a new discipline in the area of the genomics revolution. It is central to biomedicine with application in areas like pharmacy, medicine, biology and medicinal chemistry. The genomics revolution has given high throughput methods for massive gene sequencing, chemical synthesis and biological testing. This creates oceans of new information. Pharmaceutical bioinformatics is all about how to use all the new information effectively.

This course introduces the scientist to Bioinformatics, which uses computer databases to store, retrieve and assist in understanding biological information. Genome-scale sequencing projects have led to an explosion of genetic sequences available for automated analysis. These gene sequences are the codes, which direct the production of proteins that in turn regulate all life processes.
