Marketing and Business Path/Education

Almost a year ago I had exactly zero knowledge on anything business or marketing related, through out my career I've stayed deep in the research and development departments.

I am a toddler when it comes to marketing but I am keen to learn and make a change. I was hoping to receive guidance on where to go for from here, especially where it comes to books and on-line resources.

The road I've taken thus far:
1) eMyth revisited - to get the basics right and figure out the context (purpose, goal, system, technician vs entrepreneur)
2) Duct Tape Marketing - a non frill approach to marketing basics (ideal customer, core message, systems)
3) Permission Marketing - build trust (and lists) over time, don't interrupt
4) Purple Cow & Free Prize inside - build marketing into your product, create remarkable products, innovate
5) Tipping point - how do ideas spread, word of mouth 
6) Crossing the chasm - how to move from early adopter to rest of market
7) Eating the big fish - what small fish can do to take on market Gorillas:-)
8) SBBM podcasts - small tips and idea on online marketing
9) Joel on software - how to promote and sell software products

Open to hear any comments or suggestions.
