Below are some links, most of them concerning information on statistical computing programming languages (and some arising from my own stream of consciousness).

statistical consulting

Consulting is a natural skill of a good applied statistician (in my opinion). Indeed, it is a core aspect of our training. While I am not presently active in consulting, I have dabbled, and a few past clients include: 

• Whitfield Bryson & Mason LLP, Raleigh, NC 

• Truth Initiative, Washington, DC 

• Management Analysis Inc., Vienna, VA

• American Public Gas Association Security & Integrity Foundation, Washington, DC 

If in search of a consultant, the directory of statistical consultants from The American Statistical Association (ASA) is a reliable starting point.
