The Washoe County SD NCLab Training Day took place on June 20 at the WCSD training facility at Matley Lane in Reno. It was attended by 42 math and science teachers, we did computer programming with Karel the Robot and 3D modeling with PLaSM, and it was a HUGE SUCCESS. The excitement of teachers about

Both Martins participated in the Octave Conference 2013 which took place on June 24 – 26 in Milan, Italy. During their visit they met with key Octave developers as well as with Octave’s founder J.W. Eaton. Knowing about newest trends in Octave development helps us to better prepare for further improvements of the Octave module

After making the GNU Octave module interactive, we added interactivity to the Python module as well! The technical procedure was different from Octave, because Octave is handled in a different way. The way interactivity is achieved in Python is based on running simultaneous parallel threads. Skipping technical details, here is a brief illustration. We execute

On May 28 – 31 we (Pavel and Ed) spent another four days in beautiful East Nevada towns Ely, Eureka and Lund, training K-12 teachers in computer programming and 3D modeling with NCLab. Nine workshops in three days marked a new record on our list. This trip was organized with great care by the Superintendent

NCLab is one of the sponsors of the 2013 GNU Octave Conference. Following the success of OctConf 2012 which brought together users and developers for five days in July in the French Canadian summer, the first European OctConf will be held in Milan, Italy on June 24-26 2013. Read more…

RGJ (the Reno Gazette Journal) mentioned NCLab as one of software projects that have the potential to bring prosperity to the Reno area (Reno Rebirth Project).

Commands such as input() or pause() have not worked in the GNU Octave module previously. When these commands were executed, the script simply stopped on the server and waited for human assistance. Of course there was no one to press the button. Getting over this required quite some work! Now, whenever the input() command is

We are excited to announce that NCLab was upgraded to version 0.9.4! Here is a brief overview of the most important changes:   A major improvement is the upgrade of the underlying windows library from Ext JS 4.1 to Ext JS 4.2. This required a huge number of changes across the entire platform. Most of

Advanced plotting based on Pylab and Matplotlib has been available in NCLab since long time ago, but it was never really exposed to the user (this is a generic problem we have and we are gradually improving it). The new module makes it possible to plot polylines, polygons, functions of one and two variables, planar
