Scientific Programming with IDL - IDL has long been used by scientists as an interactive tool for tackling research problems. Although it's easy to learn the basics of IDL, most scientists do so by trial and error under the pressure of completing a deliverable. Because of this, even long-time IDL users aren't always familiar with many of the programming tips and techniques built into IDL. Scientific Programming with IDL is a three-day course on programming with IDL.

In the course, we focus on programming methods and best practices in IDL. We also explore techniques for data access, analysis, visualization and output that make IDL useful for scientists in research settings.

Prerequisites: This course is directed at IDL users who want a refresher, or who want to see the “right way” to program in IDL.
