Well, my first criticism of your book was that here I
was loping along with all this beginning IDL information
when I ran right smack into that FFT chapter. I was
bloody and battered.
But I do find I pick this book up quite often to read those
last two chapters. I never understood your FFT example,
to tell you the truth, until I compared it with the
example you provided the other day. Then, suddenly, it
all made sense to me.
I would welcome an introductory to intermediate couple
of chapters on the topics above. But, many, many examples,
please! I'm pretty dense. :-)
Cheers,
David
