Abstract:	It is commonplace, but nevertheless accurate, to note that changes in computing hardware and software have radically expanded the resources available for statistical data analysis. In particular, where once analysts might have felt required to implement accessible versions of tools from scratch, now both statistical and general data-related software is available in staggering variety. The same changes, however, have altered the data processes to which data analysis must respond. This talk addresses questions of how current resources can be used effectively, and of how future directions for programming with data may improve our response.
