Students with computer skills

Here's a place to let people know what, exactly, you can hack. (Or use.)

Computer Languages

Assembly Language

Travis Vachon (kind of...)

Paul N. Stansifer '07 (my claim to masculinity)

Jessica Chung (I'd be the a5 register on the emulator because that one definitely doesn't work.)

Befunge

Steve Winslow '04

Brent Yorgey '04

C

Travis Vachon

Brent Yorgey '04

Rahul Shah

Haskell

Brent Yorgey '04 (the most beautiful language ever -- don't give me this Ruby crap)

Hypertalk

Alan Cordova Booyah!

Java

Daniel Rooney (disgusting)

Evan Miller (shamefully well)

Brent Yorgey '04 (I frickin' TEACH this language)

Jessica Chung (not bad either.)

JavaScript

Evan Miller (just a pinch)

LabVIEW

Joe Shoer '06 (though he's ashamed to admit he knows such a stupid language)

Sam Clapp '06 (It is NOT a stupid language! Three cheers for graphical programming!)

LaTeX

Daniel Klein (too good for word processing)

Evan Miller (too poor for Word)

Diana Davis '07 (infinitely superior to anything else)

Travis Vachon (It's pretty frickin sweet)

Matthew Earle (Offers TeX services for $10/hr.)

Jessica Chung (Would like her chemistry reports to be TeX-ed, but alas, converting chemical structures from ChemDraw to .jpg on her Windows side and then switching into her Linux side where the Windows side is mounted and then converting .jpgs into the accepted TeX format is too many steps. But if she ever decided aesthetics were worth everything and anything, she'd be all up ons for chem reports TeX-ed.)

Nela Vukmirovic thinks it's not worth the pain.

Aidan Finley '04 spent a week teaching it to himself during his thesis crunch, which indirectly contributed to a case of sleep deprivation and a subsequent fall in Sawyer Library. This in turn produced a leg wound which required hospitalization during Senior Week.

Lisp

(cons 'Brent Yorgey (cons '04 (cons 'Jessica Chung '07)))

Mathematica

Daniel Klein (is too a real language)

Joe Shoer '06 (it's my thesis, and I can do more with it than the math nerds can)

Laura Effinger-Dean '06 (I make pretty pictures for my thesis!)

Nick Yates '06 (Pretty spirals! Ooh!)

Diana Davis '07 (I'll isoperimeterize you!)

Any physics major worth their weight in problem sets

PARI/GP

Nick Yates '06 (For a number theoretic software called PARI; similar to C)

Perl

Kai Steverson (competent)

Evan Miller (wizardly)

Jing Cao (kind of)

Brent Yorgey '04 (JAPH)

Bartley Tablante '07

PHP

Young Hahn (godly)

Katherine Huang (sort of)

Dave Senft (also knows what the P stands for)

Jessica Chung (When really desperate and focused.)

PL/SQL

Evan Miller (a terrible language)

Python

Travis Vachon (the scripting language of choice)

R

Daniel Klein (it makes statistics fun!)

Evan Miller (needs to learn how to put his skills on his own line but is probably very capable at R)

Ruby

Evan Miller (the scripting language of choice)

Ronit Bhattacharyya '07 (the most beautiful language ever)

WC237 Microcode

Travis Vachon (well, at one point at least...)

XML/XSLT/XPath/XQuery

Ronit Bhattacharyya '07 (hey, at least I'm not claiming CSS & HTML to be languages)

Software

ChemDraw

Jessica Chung (Don't make me clipware you.)

Hazen Parsons

PowerPoint

Jonathan Landsman '05 (godly)

AppleWorks

Jonathan Landsman '05 (fears no page/margin/line spacing/font size requirement)

Jono Dowse '06 (still uses it in drawing and painting mode. He is a 13-year Apple drawing veteran.)

Laurie Brink sort-of-'05 (disputes that this is actually a "computer skill," seeing as the charming thing about AppleWorks is that it's infinitely more user-friendly and intuitive than Microsoft Office)
