I also have some time to kill before finishing my degree. As an entrepreneur, I'm looking for supportive platforms that can incorporate empirical research in rapid development. For instance, I really treasure the rapid development capable in lisp (particularly PLT Scheme for home-brewed libraries). My market research methodology is focussed around measurables and "surveys". Do you know of any resources where one could learn about statistical data processing in a rapid development environment? Perhaps more specifically: smooth dataflow between processes? Best of luck on your PhD.
