This class covers the basics of the Interactive Data Language (IDL), a programming environment
that offers all the power, adaptability, and programmability of high-level
languages like FORTRAN, C, and C++, but also adds two essential capabilities
for modern data analysis: interactivity and graphics display. The class in
intended for beginning IDL users and covers the basics of running IDL,
performing basic calculations, IDL data types, working with multidimensional
arrays, basic I/O, and a brief introduction to 2D plotting and mapping. This is
a hands-on class that includes sample exercises. Attendees should have a
familiarity with basic computer operations.
- Prerequisite: Previous programming experience in FORTRAN, C, or Matlab is
helpful
- Course Length: Two hours
