      Hi,

      yes I have and I still am most of the time.
      I had to learn a lot of R in uni to do statistical analysis.
      Then I wanted to learn MathLab, because it is quite fancy and I used it for a but, but people told me that python is much much better for everyday use.
      So I just recently started learning that.
      I am not a great coder I must say, but I use python to analyze some data, make nice images, etc.
      In a few weeks I would love to do a GUI for my scripts.

      My dad was a computer programmer, so when I found a book about coding at the library he helped me. This was in year 6. I made some very simple games.
      Since then I haven’t done very much. Though I would argue that many of my complicated formulae in Excel are a form of coding!
      Some of my engineering and statistics colleagues use MatLab and R to make programs that simplify regular analysis.
      Coding is a very useful skill. Are you learning how to code?
