[gdal-dev] SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS AND BIG DATA PROCESSING USING FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SW

[Ivan Lucena]

Ari,

It makes perfectly sense if you look how AWK is used on the tutorials:

http://www.spatial-ecology.net/ost4sem_dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:awkbasic
http://www.spatial-ecology.net/ost4sem_dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:awkadvance

That is what AWK is good for. It is a great tool but it is certainly not comparable with Perl, Python, Lua, TCL, etc.

Best regards,

Ivan

    Hi Giuseppe,

      

      I wonder why are you teaching AWK, which is a really old
      programming language and largely been replaced by Perl(*). As you
      know, with Perl you could then use GDAL and many other tools, even
      Gnuplot. 

      

      Kind regards,

      

      Ari Jolma

      HI,

        we are pleased to announce   2 weeks intensive training in: 

        

        SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS AND BIG DATA PROCESSING USING FREE
          AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

        16-20 December 2013 & 20-24 January 2014 

        University of Twente - Enschede - The Netherlands

        

        4 ECTS

        

        Over the few decades there has been an explosion of available
        data for environmental spatio-temporal research. This “big data”
        allows us to address a number of old and new important questions
        with unprecedented rigor and generality. Leveraging these new
        data streams requires new tools and increasingly complex
        workflows.
        This 2-week course introduces a set of free and open source
        software (GRASS, R, Python, AWK, BASH, GDAL) tools to perform
        spatio-temporal analysis and modelling of environmental data
        under Linux environment. It consists of a set of lectures and
        practical sessions where participants use this software packages
        to perform typical Geographic Information System (GIS) and
        Remote Sensing (RS) data analysis tasks. In this course,
        attention is paid to the use of command line rather than the
        graphical user interface. Yet no programming experience is
        required to register for this course as basic principles are
        introduced.
