		<description><![CDATA[ 
Rich has recently been considering switching to the Python programming language.  Currently, Matlab is the language of choice in his department for rapid development and prototyping of code.  It&#8217;s very good at this, but Mathworks (the company who produces Matlab) have been tinkering with the licencing terms, leading to hassles where none should exist.  [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The internet is full of smart people writing intelligently on how to write good software. Very few of these articles are from the perspective of a scientist (hence this blog!) but a lot of what they write is useful, interesting and, occasionally, entertaining. This post is of some of the best articles, posts and websites that have taught us what we know today.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the summer, Rich has been writing a novel clustering algorithm for use with gene expression and other similar types of data.  There are some interesting facets to this (scientifically-motivated) project which illustrate some of the considerations the scientist-programmer can encounter when working on a software project.  This post is about what we did and [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve written a function in pseudocode.  Twice.  Once will be using good coding practice, care and attention.  The other one won&#8217;t.  Because both functions will be doing the same thing, this is a great way to see the difference that good programming practice can make!
The function we&#8217;ve chosen is a simple one.  It must take [...]
