Some notes on Fortran programming that I use as a reference.
Cache NetCDF data to disk
In this post we create a *DiskCacher* class that can be used as a
*with* context manager, a function wrapper and as the pie-syntax
decorator. It modifies a given computation function, and tries to use
the cached data if possible, and only do the re-computation if the
cache is not found or the user forces an overwrite.
CDAT vs netcdf4, package for the manipulation of NetCDF data
On top of netcdf4, there are some more advanced packages in Python that could make the manipulation of NetCDF data, and your life a lot easier.
Create 2D geographical plots using matplotlib and basemap
In this post I'll talk about some basic 2D geographical plotting workflows, using the `matplotlib` and `basemap` packages. Then we cover some common issues that are worth your attention when creating such plots.
Define a multi-file class using mixin
Mixins are like "plugins" to classes, they can be used to extend the functionality of a class in a more modular manner.
Lazy evaluation and memoization in Python computations
We use memoization to cache the computed
results to help speed up the computation of Fibonacci numbers, and
lazy evaluation to create a generator that outputs new Fibonacci
numbers indefinitely.
