hi

people, hello there. my name is marcos gonzález. i'm a trained economist, i got a major in political science as well. however, i'm still working on my thesis to get both degrees. and those thesis are what brought me over to programming, albeit from a peripheral perspective yet.

 

my thesis involves an analysis of committees in the mexican lower chamber. there are 3 major parties here in mexico, and each party gets as many seats in every committee as to reflect the percentage of seats each party holds for the whole chamber (every committee is an harmonic reduction of the chamber).

 

this is very straightforward and it is even drafted into the chamber regulations. the way each party leader handles the seats it is due in every committee isn't that straightforward, and it is there that i'm working. my idea is that party leaders carefully balance and observe which representative goes where.

 

then, i've been using sql and php to handle some databases and perform operations on them. i haven't programmed really, but i've had to start thinking like a programmer, so my friends and i could go from my abstract idea and needs to specific commands that churn out the desired results.

 

i'm like at 80% progress so far, i just need to place a loop on the command that's been developed so it runs automatically over the databases. i'm then going to post in the code section.

 

thanks a lot to everyone for your time and helpfulness, thanks for a great forum, the best wishes for all,

 

marcos
