Here are my slides on the “GPULib with IDL 8.0” talk I gave yesterday at VISualize 2010. They are very similar to the slides for the talk I gave a few months ago at the IDL User Group Meeting in Boulder. More to come on other talks…

Modern IDL offers IDL programmers one place to look for explanation, techniques, and reference material, for beginners and advanced users alike.
"... But I've always wanted a thorough, concise, up-to-date overview of the the IDL language and its vast capabilities. This is exactly what Mike's book provides in 464 very informative pages... Highly recommended!"

About me
I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.
I currently work for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory. Previously, I worked for Tech-X Corporation, where I was the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.
I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.

Michael,
Are the OpenDAP access routines part of your library? Or do I need to get them from the OpenDAP website?
I look forward to “Modern IDL”!
Thanks,
Liam.

The OPeNDAP access routines can be obtained through the Subversion repository on opendap.org, but that is a C DLM which is fairly basic (I contributed a small amount to this, but mostly this was done by others).
I have a new, entirely IDL code-based access routines which uses operator overloading if you have IDL 8.0. These are not downloadable currently, but I can send a distribution to those who are interested in checking them out. These are still somewhat in beta condition, but I think they are very usable. Let me know if you interested in trying them out!
