<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">Hi Giuseppe,<br>
<br>
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programming language and largely been replaced by Perl(*).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. <br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<b>SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS AND BIG DATA PROCESSING USING FREE
AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE</b><br>
16-20 December 2013 & 20-24 January 2014 <br>
University of Twente - Enschede - The Netherlands<br>
<br>
4 ECTS<br>
<br>
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.<br>
