[Pdl-porters] PDL Starting help

[ritu raj]

Folks,After using perl for last 2 years I am heading for some advance math function usage. I found PDL very interesting but limited with basic help on web.I am new to PDL and looking for some help on starting basics of PDL. I would really appreciate if anyone interested in a 1:1 web based or face to face teaching starting immidiately. I can certainly go for 6-10 lessons at start. I live in Portland, Oregon area. I would sincerely appreciate your professional time in teaching this. Thanks and regards, Raj K

Welcome Raj K-

The best starting point for all things PDL is the PDL home page
at http://pdl.perl.org

The best mailing list for PDL support/questions/... is the Perldl
mailing list (and not pdl-porters which is for discussion related to
PDL development---note all the PDL developers receive both lists).
The lists and archives are at http://pdl.perl.org/?page=mailing-lists

PDL has a lot of functionality but probably the best way to
iintroduce yourself to PDL capabilities is via the PDL Book
which can be found from a link at the PDL home page
(see above).

Happy PDL-ing!
Chris

Raj -

I agree with what Chris said. Here are some additional ideas you might
consider for getting one-on-one feedback and help.

Your best bet is to resend your email to the general perldl mailing list,
which I have done here. If anybody lives in the Portland area and would be
interested in meeting with Raj, you now know how to get a hold of him.

There are a couple of other places where you could reach out. Portland has
a pretty active Perl Mongers <http://pdx.pm.org/> group. If you haven't
attended that yet, I would recommend it. Although there may not be a PDL
user who attends, you may find another person who has meant to take up PDL
and is willing to learn along with you.

I've also posted a discussion on the Perl LinkedIn list in case there is
anybody following that list who lives in Portland and would be interested.
I'll pass along what I find.

Finally, there is the PDL irc channel. (If you're not familiar with IRC, it
is a group chat system that's been around for a couple of decades; for our
purposes, it's a multi-person live chat where you can get real-time help
and feedback.) Due to the winter break, I have not been on that channel for
a few weeks. I plan to be back starting tomorrow, and I would be happy to
help out live-chat style. Feel free to bug me with questions about irc if
you're not familiar with it.

I hope those give you some good starting points!
David

Also, David, you are too modest about your PDL tutorial on YouTube. Raj, google "PDL David Martens tutorial youtube" and you should find a very good ~1 hour lecture by Dr. Mertens, intended as an overview for interested perl users.

Argh. Typo on my cotton-pickin' phone - it's "Mertens", of course.

Here's the direct link:

Ha! My own modesty had little to do with it: I simply forgot that talk was
on the web. :-D

Thanks for the shout-out!
