A Story About Visualization
When I first started at the Energy MegaCorp where I currently work, I was hired into an inter-disciplinary team of computational scientists and geoscientists. It was a grand experiment in bringing together people from very different disciplines (and mindsets). Many of today’s hydrocarbon reservoirs were formed when rivers transported vast quantities of suspended sediment and organic matter, depositing them in layers (Greek: strata) on the sea floor. If we could model these flows, perhaps we could predict something useful about the probability of finding hydrocarbons - the ultimate prize in geological exploration. This was the objective of the Process Stratigraphy team.

Beyond Hello World — 1: A Python-Based Command-Line Greeter
This is the first of a series of articles in which I will provide a step-by-step for the elements involved in building and deploying a command-line application in Python. We will keep the scope of the application very small in order to cast sufficient attention to the complexities of building a production-ready application for the average end-user. Specifically, we will build an application that accepts the name of the user as input and greets the user.
