Synopsis :

A user friendly, step-by-step practical guide for applying basic informatics algorithms to medical data sets, this book includes examples using Perl, Python, and Ruby. The author employs a minimal selection of commands for quick learning, and references only free, publicly available resources. This book demonstrates how easy it is to master the wide variety of data types encountered in a healthcare setting with just a few simple programming commands. It covers building blocks, medical data resources, primary tasks of medical informatics, and medical discovery.
