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

[Ari Jolma]

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language and largely been replaced by Perl(*).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
