Being a relatively mature person, I was wondering how many pod's are fluent in, and utilise, a programming language, for research, interests ....

I used to use BASIC some 30 years ago for private research, and am enjoying updating with Visual Basic and now Python. Any fellow Pythonistas out there??

Anything more complex and I have to phone a friend. -

gday Simon, do you use Arduino for your fea work?
and JoeJared most impressive (I think) to repeat myself, "didn't have calculators when i went to school", will certainly try to follow any of your postings in future, mark -

Steep learning curve here Simon, did a quick perusal of the wikipedia entry. I'll have a good look when I get my 'second-wind', have to go and put the dogs to bed before I crash, night!

What kind of projects are you working on to program for? I have dabbled a bit with macro languages and am familiar with an "easy programming" app which is useful for automating tasks which might be of interest.

a very good morning to you Mart, it's 5.30 am in Winnipeg apparently, while i'm about to crash once again, 10.30 pm here in rather warm Canberra
Had a quick wikipedia and methinks I'll need a bit more edumacation before I can hold my end up in a conversation with you. I thought Visual Basic would be a good 'place' to start and enjoyed it. the syntax isn't that different to old BASIC but then was put onto PYTHON by a language lecturer at the local uni.
All the best, mark, and goodnight -
Is it just for the ponies or for the dish lickers as well ? -
hey markjohconley

But we're not alone, there was a snake found (by 'white man') / named "Montypythonoides riversleighensis".
And Python, the programming language I'm endeavouring to master, was definitely named after Idle, Cleese, Jones, Palin, Chapman, mark -

it gives you a nice simple compact macro programing capability which works in most windows environments dirt cheap. At the very simplest level it saves a bunch of time typing.

Hi to all,
with excel you will get the same : "the BASIC only allowed ~ 500 race results to be entered / analysed, not near a big enough sample." : problem, at nr. 65000. For data analyis, a database is the best solution. You can write your "own databse", but trying to reinvent the wheel..??. I was using FoxPro before Microsoft "absorved" it in the early 80's. Its a really fast database-engine and you can write any kind of applications. from basic, there is no learning curve. most needed functions, MAXimmum, MINimmum, a lot of different AVErages are ready to use, lots faster than excel (or even MS-SQL when analysing no more than some millions smaples). A lot of medical software is written in FoxPro, but "migrated" the late 90's to NET. The fox has many advantages, safety not the less important.
If someone has a (small) project, i could show how it works. The student version of MS-Visual FoxPro is about US$ 150.°°, the only limitation is, yrnot allowed to sell the software you write. -
For my own application, I wrote my own database objects, d-base III+ compatible. Soon, I'm going to have to implement record locking to make the entire process more scalable, but this is only a real issue to customers producing more than 2000 pair/month. As far as memory management goes, I use the same management paradigm I have for the past 15 years, which is comparable to a tree with a trunk, branches, and leaves. Thinking in terms of boundaries ultimately results in exceeding them. See also, Bill gates, 640K

I was a BBC Model B user in the '80s - and though now of course a joke, it stood in good stead. My standard stats package is SAS - it does anything. I do all my canonical variates and principal components on it. AND, its programming language seems to be largely an accent of BBC BASIC - you see, time well spent. Rob Kidd

Kind of do programming as a hobby, though has also has come in use as a podiatrist. I redid the work website, created a database that we use for all podiatry clients, customised forms in Outlook etc.
Cheers
