Answer 1

• Good resources online about IDL:

  1) Corba IDL Intro.

  2) Understanding Interface Definition Language: A Developer's Survival Guide.

  3) An introduction to programming with IDL.

• The good IDL books by author:

  1) Practical IDL programming (By Liam E Gumley).

  This is a good reference book and covers a large part of IDL language.

  Website: www.gumley.com

  2) IDL programming Techniques, Second Edition (By David W. Fanning) .

  This is also a relatively comprehensive book for IDL and is strong enough in understanding graphics outputs (GUI) and OOPS concepts.

  Website: www.dfanning.com

  You can also find many examples, programs and data to download, learn and play at site: LearnIDL.

The author is Ken Bowman and he is a professor in the Atmospheric Sciences Department at Texas A&M University who teaches IDL programming.

That's the all package for you.

Good Luck!
