The language Octave arrives in Sept.


The time is just flying by. It seems that at one time I was nearly a year ahead in the writing of my articles. However, the time I took off to mourn over the loss of my wife of nearly forty years in January has allowed the magazine to catch up with my writing.

The current issue of The New PCLINUXOS Magazine covers the language Octave. This is an open source language which is freely available. Currently I am working on writing covering the languages Vala and Visual Basic. The reason for dealing with two is that as I approach the end of the alphabet the number of languages available for specifically the PCLINUX distro of linux is decreasing. Also the amount of coverage available on these languages is also becoming scarce.

You will find my article on the language Octave at the following link:
