Resources to Develop Quant Skills

For reference, I just graduated from college and have a semester off before I start my FT job in a BB M&A group. I will be traveling but also would like to do some personal development with my time off before I start in July.

As an undergraduate, I have an accounting and computer science double major and investing experience through internships at a public equities fund. I'd like to learn more about how to combine my computer science experience with a career in investing/finance. My advanced math background is fairly limited but I have taken several statistics courses. I would appreciate any insight you have or resources you could point me to.
