Hi all, I have developed a web interface for the Matplotlib library in my spare time. I was inspired (or frustrated rather..) to develop it when I was encountering a lot of license error with the Matlab server in my university.
It is intended to be a free alternative to Matlab especially geared for teaching mathematics and scientific programming. Obviously it is not as complete as Matlab or other more mature scientific programming environments (R, Maple, Mathematica to name a few), however it comes with several unique benefits: * Zero client side installation. This is an advantage for computer lab/classroom setup where IT administration budget is limited. You just need reasonably recent browser which supports AJAX (IE6+, Mozilla 1.5+) * Online file storage. All of the user files are stored on the server and can be manipulated and edited online. * And it is free You can find an early release at the following URL: http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/santoso/Software.WebLab.html At this stage it is working but with some issues (which will need some serious thinking...). I would be grateful for any suggestion/comments. What I would love to do is to engage some educators to use and push this to be something more mature. I realize this mailing list is rather quiet, hopefully this email can spark some interests. Thanks again, Yusdi _________________________________________________________________ Need a break?
