This term I took a python programing class. I had done a little programming a few years ago but didn't remember a lot. Taking this class remind me how useful program can be for running automated tasks. If you have never heard of python and you do a lot of geoprocessioning I recommend checking it out. Here's link to my programming class webpage http://gisgeek.pdx.edu/wordpress/gis-programming-python/. There are lots of good links so you can start exploring python. Python is a very simple programming language and is easy to get started with.
Taking this class also made me realize how much we are dependent on programing. Every webpage relies on programing. The interactive pages require a lot of programing. Today I read an interesting article on wired. ( http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2014/03/facebook-hack/) Some engineers from Facebook have created a new programing language called 'Hack". A lot of people think this will be the language of the future. The cool part is that it is open source and has been tested on one of the biggest platforms there is, Facebook itself. I haven't had a lot of time to look into it further, but I'm interested to learn more and see how it works.
