I have completed two undergrad Intro to Programming courses with Java. I am able to perform 3D data processing in MATLAB, and so far I've used Python to make a wrapper which controls another program as a subprocess. I'm not sure if that gives you an idea of my abilities/knowledge.

Thanks johnnyn. Any more advice of where I can go to contribute to the open source community?

Ask HN: How do I make programming my job?

I have introduced myself to programming with MATLAB, Python, and Java at work but my job doesn't require me to advance my skills in programming. I want a job that challenges me to program constantly and continue learning. What can I do to get in the field and build my resume?If I know basic programming and have a BS in physics/astronomy would it be possible to find a 60k+ job? Thanks for any...
