Is there a programmer in the house?

Hey guys, I was hoping we might have a programmer in our midst who might be interested in writing a bit of code to help complete a project I've been working on for the benefit of the camping forum community? I've been trying a somewhat manual method, but am beginning to realize it is too big to reasonably do manually. Specifically, I need a custom implementation of the Dijkstra algorithm, where I can feed a list of connected nodes and their weights and get back a list: start node, finish node, route taken, and total weight for route. If Dijkstra is too hard to implement, a brute force calculation of all routes under, say, 15 nodes would work too and I could just filter out the non-optimal routes. I can, of course explain it in greater detail (i.e. less covertly) via PM.

TIA,


You may now resume your normal, light reading. That is all.

Is this post in english? Or do I need to download another language?

I said non-techies may want to avert their eyes! LOL I was hoping to disclose enough so that a programmer might know if he could handle the task without letting the cat out of the bag as to what the practical use of the data would be... I want it to be a surprise!

But, if a programmer is reading the first post and can't make heads or tails of it but thinks they might like to try, send me a PM and I will fill in the details in plain english... or as plain as I get, anyhow!

I'm sorry Shan. I'm no programmer. What the HELL did you say??? In "Engrish" preeze!!

This thread was just flagged by Homeland Security.

I sent your info to a friend that does programming for Fedex. I'm waiting for him you send me a email.

Not a programmer.... but worked in a law firm for a while... ie, can read legalese... this is a similar language....

 

[WalkingintheFog]

hmmm, I'd say he's talking about......

nope. I won't say it.
His bag, his cat.

But I think a lot of people will be find it useful!

Are you planning on doing something with GIS?

All I have to say is there are some very bright bulbs in our little pack!
