I attended a Matlab training seminar yesterday with the dual topics of “Advanced Matlab Programming” and “Distributed and Parallel Computing.” Of the two, the Advanced section was more interesting, though my original motivation for going was the parallel computing part. In the morning, I felt like it was going to be a waste because my Matlab programming skills are weak, and if my advisor had not strongly suggested I attend, I might’ve skipped it. I’m glad he did, because it was surprisingly enjoyable and I felt like it was right on my level. This might be because programming in Matlab isn’t especially hard or different from other programming languages and I know enough to get by already. Or it might be because Matlab is becoming a little more like Python.
