Description

I have been using ROOT as an undergraduate and graduate student for about seven years now. The first scripts I ever wrote were ROOT macros. From naive histogram-filling in MakeClass.C to writing python wrapper-classes and analyzing unbinned fits, much of my development as a programmer has taken place in the context of ROOT.

In this talk, I present needs and examples of ROOT usage from fellow graduate students at my university, alongside examples of my own development as a ROOT user working in particle physics.
