Hi Eugene,
Thanks for the information. Right now (partly based on the feedback) I'm
considering requiring Windows users use Linux, either through an installation
on a flash drive, a virtual machine, or partitioning their drive.
Cheers,
Demitri

I regularly use the "cygwin" on MS Windows;
it provides a unix-like environment with many packages of tools.
I think "mingw" does the same, but I currently don't use it.

Hi,
As I announced last week, I'm running a scientific programming workshop in June
(deadline to apply is tomorrow!). The participants will be bringing their own
laptops running OS X, Linux, and Windows.
There are several tools that I want to introduce, but for some things I am
really only familiar with OS X (and to a lesser degree, Linux). I'd like to see
if there is anyone who works regularly on Linux or Windows who can assist me in
finding the right tools on those platforms. An example of the tools/tasks I
want to illustrate:
- A free IDE (python/C++/etc.).
- SVN gui (or at all on Win)
- Running gcc (on Win)
- Code profiling / debugging
- SQLite (Win - command line interface?)
- Running fuse
- etc.
While I have some ideas of what is available (e.g. Eclispe), I don't really
know how to use these tools on non-Mac platforms and would like someone who is
familiar with them and uses them regularly.
Of course, a valid question is whether one should bother with Windows in
scientific research, so if anyone actually does day to day data analysis in
Windows I'd be curious to hear from you even if you don't have the time to help.
Cheers,
Demitri
