I am not a computer programmer. The best I can do is some HTML tagging and a few macros in Microsoft Word and Excel.
However, to run the planned (or, to-be-planned) Markov simulation for my dissertation project, I will need to use some programming language. Python will be that language.
I chose Python for several reasons:
- It's free and well documented.
- It runs everywhere.
- It's widely used.
- It's well supported.

Paul is very familiar with Python. Let him know if you have any questions. Good luck!
Thanks! I'll be sure to ask him if I have questions.
Picture should be of Terry Jones.
Actually, if you can program in Python you should be able to program in c and java with just a little effort. It's not like learning a second nature language. Most programming languages are similar.
