+<p>The use of Python as a language for introducing computing is
+becoming increasingly widespread.  Here we report out findings
+from two years of running an introduction to computing course
+with Python as the programming language, and building upon it,
+using SciPy as a scientific computing language in a course on
+scientific computing.

-blog: <a href="http://baniyakiduniya.blogspot.com">http://baniyakiduniya.blogspot.com</a>
+The course is designed as a general computing course for
+introducing computing to first year undergraduate students of
+science. We find that a large majority of our incoming students
+have no prior exposure to programming and none of the students
+had any exposure to Python. Thus, the design of the course is
+such that it allows everybody to be brought up to speed with
+general programming concepts.  Later, the students will later
+specialize in varied topics from Biology to pure Mathematics,
+thus, the course emphasizes general computing concepts over
+specialized techniques. At a second course in Scien- tific
+Computing numerical methods are introduced with the aid of
+Scipy. The introduction to computing course has been taught
+twice in Fall 2009 and 2010 to batches of around 100 students
+each. In this paper we report our experience with teaching
+Python and student and faculty feedback related to the course.

+<p>Bioinformatics applications being complex problem involving
+multiple comparisons, alignment, mapping and analysis can be
+managed better using workflow solutions. Galaxy is an open web
+based platform developed in Python for genomic research. Python
+is a light weight dynamic language making Galaxy to be modular
+and expandable. Bioinformatics applications being compute and
+data intensive scale well in grid computing environments. In
+this paper we describe bringing the Galaxy workflow to the
+Garuda Grid computing infrastructure for enabling bioinformatics
+applications. GAURDA grid is an aggregation of heterogeneous
+resources and advanced capabilities for scientific
+applications. Here we present the integration of galaxy workflow
+tool with GARUDA grid middleware to enable computational
+biologists to perform complex problems on the grid environment
+through a web browser.
