"On behalf of Research Systems Incorporated and the community of IDL users and programmers,
I would like to thank Liam Gumley for writing this valuable and long overdue book.
Practical IDL Programming serves as a useful tutorial, source of examples, and reference
for those wishing to learn or to master IDL. It gives me great pleasure to recommend this book to you."
"Precisely the book I wished to have available when I first learned IDL."
"A well presented explanation of the practical application of IDL."
