Adventures in the world of technology

Coder’s Notebook

Much of what you find here once got strewn around the LinkBlog and Data Science Directory pages because I have taken to trying out new computing languages. R, Python and Julia were among those that were new to me, and I am curious about Go too. Shell scripting and web coding items fall within the remit now too, so there is diversity here. Regardless of the type of technology, my way of learning often involves trying out things and finding out possible approaches from the web. This collation comes from those ongoing efforts. More may follow them yet.
