New Article: Open Source tools to aid your research
by Amit
Its often the case that we do not know of a great tool which would simplify our work as we go about our research work everyday. My hope as a novice researcher with this article is to acquaint the kind of software tools available in the Open Source world which are very useful, capable and fun to work with and we have looked at some of these today. I have made no attempt to be exhaustive here. There are a lot of other tools out there, which I haven’t yet used, so I have refrained from writing about them. I hope you have enjoyed reading this article as much as I have writing this one!

Programming and writing about it. 
great article that one… i m already using many mentioned there except for python … which i have just started to learn. i do like xfig a lot but the ui could have been much much better … its a mess when a lot of text boxes have to be added which leads to an abecedarian hodge podge of sorts.
by the way i much liked the earlier theme :P
Thanks for the fave :) Python is indeed a nice addition. Happy Learning!
reverted back the theme. I am confused regarding a lot of things- the blog theme, being one of them. :)
