An Introduction to using IDL for ALFALFA
The best way to learn IDL is to get hold of the book "Practical IDL Programming" by
Liam E. Gumley (Morgan Kauffman Publishers) and devour it! That's how most of
us learned.
Use the IDL Development Environment (IDLDE) for writing programs. In a terminal where you
are positioned in the directory where you will also run IDL, type
> idlde &
and the environment window will pop up. You can then start IDL as usual.
Here are some links to tutorials which can help you practice with IDL.
