[BioEdu] Lanuages and environments

[danaf at drfconsulting.com]

I appreciate everyone's input.

I see the consensus in languages,
though not in any order, is

Perl, Python, Java, C/C++

and it seems I need to become
competent in Linux/Unix.

Thanks,
Dana

Here's a poll on the languages that practitioners are interested in
learning:

  http://bioinformatics.org/poll/index.php?dispid=16&vo=16
  (#1 Python, #2 Perl, #3 Java, #4 C/C++, ...)

It's not a poll on which languages are actually *used*, but there should be
(if not now, then someday) a good correlation.
