[KLUG Members] Meeting 2002-03-19 - <b>APL</b>:<b>A P</b>rogramming <b>L</b>anguage

[members@kalamazoolinux.org]

Programming looks tough, tedious, or simply too much of a chore? Instead
of spending a lot of time wading through declarations, control
structures, and a lot or artificial syntax, wouldn't you prefer
programming the same way you think? If you even suspect that the answer
is YES, you cannot afford to miss a good look at APL. Developed as a
kind of notation, APL is blessedly free of many of the characteristics
of programming that force you to think in terms of how the machine
works, rather than how people see problems. People who use APL span many
professions, and acheive extremely high levels of productivity in
problem solving. APL has been used to prototype many of the most widely
used systems in the computer industry, and is the "secret weapon" of
organizations and productive people right here in Kalamazoo and around
the world. This presentation is a sampler of APL, how it works, and what
it can do for you. Additional materials (books and software) are also
available.
