I'm new to /r/statistics and I thought I would ask your collective advice.

I am a software engineer who has been tasked with designing and implementing a large-scale analytics system for the media industry(specifically targeted at journalists/bloggers/authors). I have built a system that gathers various data points from a wide variety of sample types, such as who is reading a particular blog or the reach of a online publication. It works awesome and we're already getting back some really interesting data.

The problem is that I don't have a way of know just how interesting it is because I lack the skills/knowledge to make sense of it all. I haven't done any statistically analysis since college, and even then it was the bare minimum required for my degree (ANOVA, various tests of correlation, etc). I've been trying to brush up, but there are quite a few holes in my knowledge.

So here's my question: Where should I start? Are there any decent videos, books, etc that I can absorb to get caught up with the various methods of analysis that are out there and how to implement them? Any good software packages for exploring data sets and running various statistical tests? Is there anything like an "auto-test" where you input a multi-variate data set and it tells you anything interesting it finds? (wishful thinking I know)

tl;dr: Programmer given Big-Data esque project. Got the data, doesn't know what to do with it. Wizard needs food, badly
