  We present the first release of TAPPS (Technical Analysis and Applied
Statistics System); a Python implementation of a thin software platform aimed
towards technical analyses and applied statistics. The core of TAPPS is a
container for 2-dimensional data frame objects and a TAPPS command language.
TAPPS language is not meant to be a programming language for script and plugin
development but for the operational purposes. In this aspect, TAPPS language
takes on the flavor of SQL rather than R, resulting in a shallower learning
curve. All analytical functions are implemented as plugins. This results in a
defined plugin system, which enables rapid development and incorporation of
analysis functions. TAPPS Release 1 is released under GNU General Public
License 3 for academic and non-commercial use. TAPPS code repository can be
found at http://github.com/mauriceling/tapps.
