I recently received some promotional information from RSI concerning
something they call VIP. It's supposed to be a new visual programming
interface that allows you string IDL modules together by linking them
together on your computer screen rather than writing text programs
containing IDL statements. I got a demo CD for VIP but haven't yet
had the time to install it on my HP workstation.
My question: Has anyone out there in Netland already tried the VIP/IDL
combo? If so, what do you think? Is it flexible enough to do
everything that one might normally attempt in a traditional IDL
program? Does the visual interface really speed up the programming
process that much compared to typing an equivalent set of IDL commands
(assuming one is already fairly comfortable with the IDL syntax)? In
short, is it worth the money?
Just wondering...
