Taken together, you comprise a huge range in computer programming experience, making it difficult to prepare an Introduction that gives each person what he/she needs to know. So bear with me, please. The notes on the language we'll be using in Research Simulations (True Basic) are constructed in part so that experienced programmers can whiz through them while others can extract more at a leisurely pace.

I hope. Or I might have missed badly. Please try to find the maximum utility you can. If the material is either boring, on one hand, or overwhelming, on the other, please let me know through the short questionnaire, given below.

Time/place: Friday, 6 June 2003, Life Sciences Center BCCL

     9:00 am   Computer Science (Jimmy Ames)
     1:00 pm   Personal Programming and True Basic (Jeff Elhai)
