Does anyone know where I can find some material (for free) on IDL? I'm new to programming, and I would like to teach myself this language. I would like suggestions to material that is "novice" friendly.
You might get a lead from our past IDL threads. See recent discussion and some links right at the foot of the page of this discussion: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/idl-tutorial-recommendations.383423/mmont012 said:Does anyone know where I can find some material (for free) on IDL?

IDL stands for interactive data language and it is a programming language used for data analysis, visualization, and manipulation. It is commonly used in scientific research and data analysis.
Materials wanted for IDL include data sets, code libraries, and tutorials or guides for using IDL for data analysis and visualization. Other materials such as plugins or add-ons for specific tasks may also be wanted.
IDL material is wanted because it provides valuable resources for scientists and researchers who use IDL for their work. By sharing materials, the community can benefit from new techniques, data sets, and tools for data analysis and visualization.
IDL material can be found in a variety of places, including online repositories such as GitHub and Zenodo, as well as on personal websites and blogs of scientists and researchers. There are also online forums and communities dedicated to sharing IDL materials.
Yes, you can contribute your own IDL material to the community. This can help other scientists and researchers by providing them with new resources for their work. You can share your materials through online repositories, forums, or by creating your own website or blog.
