Scientists, engineers and developers can strengthen their skills in employing IDL as a programming language, not just as a command-line tool. The major topics covered in the course include widget programming, data visualization with Object Graphics, object-oriented programming and external linking. These topics, though useful in their own right, are also used to demonstrate techniques for building effective, efficient IDL programs. Take this course and learn how to write better code that can be used by others.

PREREQUISITES: Experience in IDL and another programming language, or completion of the Introduction to IDL or Scientific Programming with IDL course.
