A non-technical introduction to regular expressions (view)
For those who have either never heard of regular expressions, or have always been curious what they are. This is a short description of regular expressions intended for those without strong computer science backgrounds. I also link to a page with more detailed information on regular expressions at the end of this piece.Downloads
A few LaTeX templates (article, beamer, assignment)
If you are looking for a template LaTeX file to get you started, feel free to download and modify the templates that I use on a regular basis. The article template is suited for papers as well as articles. The beamer template is for creating PDF presentations (similar to power point presentations). The assignment template is well suited for assignments that have numbered problems.Résumé Build Scripts (sed script, Makefile, sample resume) updated 4-03-2009
The idea behind these scripts is simple:- Write as many versions of your resume as you want (in latex).
- Simultaniously create PDF and plain text versions of those resumes with one simple command.
Just download these scripts, use the LaTeX resume template provided by Michael DeCorte (see link below), and when you are done writing call "make all" to create both plain text and PDF versions of your resume(s). The scripts above will need to be in the same folder as your resume(s) and you will need both the make and sed* command line utilities (standard with Mac OS X, Linux distros, or Cygwin).
*You may need to alter my sed script for some environments because some allow extended regular expressions and some do not.
