Upcoming Book
The great Bob Muenchen, is coming with the very good updated version of the R for SAS and SPSS users book— in September 2008 to help people learn R , if they have used only SAS or SPSS before.We first covered the earlier edition of the book here.The book adds sections on R Commander, Rattle and JGR as well as two chapters on graphics ; one on basic stats. The author runs the examples and walks though them explaining each step, especially where the results differ from SAS & SPSS. Check the new book here-
Windows Live (Writer and Maps)
This post is being written using the offline blogging tool by Microsoft called Windows Live Writer. How good is it…? Its pretty near, no messy edges here.The ability to copy and past from the clipboard also makes it a welcome edition rather than waiting for the WP upload .And the formatting is really nicely done ,as by now we are more used to Win Word typing than anything else.
The New WordPress
WordPress : For people who would rather spend time on the content than the code.
Easy to install,maintain,upgrade, beautiful themes,lots of plug-ins –
The easy -sleek dashboard
The best is of course the ease by which I can now insert pictures-
This is much much better than Blogger..though other Typepad-s like blogging platforms are said to be good too. Google seems to have forgotten re designing blogspot and news.google.com- and the competition is taking it all.
For beginners interested in software
1) For web development , get into http://www.wordpress.org and its a pretty easy software to start making websites on.
You can maybe spend say 10 $ a month so that you can buy some server space on http://www.bluehost.com and tinker with his own website /blog in the meantime.
For learning language CSS ,PhP and HTML are the way to go.
2) If you knows some languages already, try to make a Facebook application , and then play with Google’s open social API,or game, as that will get his interest besides giving him a skill thats useful. Ipod developer’s kit is another hot area to experiment.
3)For designing software solutions I would recommend the Microsoft Certification program. Try to learn 1 language like Visual Basic or into .Net programming.These platforms will still be useful in coming years.
4) For statistical/business software try to learn a language called R, which is good for data mining (www.r-project.org) . its quite easy to learn and has a good graphical user interface too.
5)For software careers it is best to learn multiple types of softwares to hedge your bets.
For sustaining interest, you can join and network with fellow programmers using bulletin boards especially boards on http://www.google.com for google code and microsoft developers area..
6) You can also download Ubuntu linux (www.ubuntu.com) , which is a free Linux based Operation System (like Windows) and be more familiar in it. Also add openoffice from http://www.openoffice.org This gives you perspectives on open source software.
7)I recommend him getting summer internship in a software startup (especially any software company in Silicon valley or Bangalore) ,and with established companies (like http://www.google.com , http://www.facebook.com,www.infosys.com
Software developers are the un-sung heroes of today’s modern world!!!
All the best !
