Andreas, I had to come to it on my own. Seems the focus at this university is on Perl only and there's a serious (IMO) disconnect with our CS department. Java (or some other OO language) is only a minor requirement for bioinformatics undergrads/graduate students. However, I'd love to see this change and/or be involved in the development of a course to do just that. We've been kicking around developing some intersession modules around dealing with genetic data sets using Java/BioJava, but doing actual research continues to stand in our way. On a side note, have you seen the Java Evolutionary Biology Library? Would be excellent to combine forces of these development efforts since JEBL is well-vetted (e.g., FigTree, BEAST, Geneious), though that's purely from a selfish user perspective. ;-) Chris On Nov 4, 2011, at 2:21 AM, Andreas Prlic wrote: > Hi, > > Is anybody using BioJava in teaching, or has been introduced to > BioJava as part of a course? > > Andreas > _______________________________________________ > Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] > http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
