Curious about the APL language? (Yes, the one with the funny symbols.)
Here's the perfect way to learn APL, or to just add another language
processor to your collection, cheap. Expert APL programmer Jim Weigang's
book "APL Notes" now comes with a terrific APL interpreter, an easy-to-use
debugger, utility programs, and keyboard and language reference cards. The
interpreter is a version of the best-selling APL of all time, STSC's
APL*PLUS /PC system, beefed up with their latest multiple-edit session
manager.

Some of you are probably grumbling about unreadable one-liners, the only
thing you remember about APL. Nah, that's old stuff. The guys who wrote
code like that have all been fired. Modern APL code is just as clear as
any other language, and it's usually a lot shorter and easier to develop
and maintain. The book is full of programs that set a good example.

APL isn't just for mathematics, either; it's as good at processing text as
it is at crunching numbers. It's a great language for getting complicated
things implemented quickly. Things you might use only a few times, or
things that might have to be changed frequently as requirements change.
Things that you might recode in another language once you're sure how you
want them to work.

And if you think you know all about programming, try wrapping your mind
around APL. It's an utterly different way of thinking about problem
solving. With just a few symbols, you process entire arrays at once, flip
them around, slice, select, and rearrange them. Learning APL will change
the way you think about programming, no matter what language you end up
using.

"APL Notes" is 200 pages long. The software, on one 3.5" disk, requires an
IBM PC or compatible computer, DOS version 2 or later, 450K disk space,
and runs comfortably in 512K RAM. The book sells for $29 postpaid in the
U.S. and Canada, $38 postpaid outside the U.S. (Sorry, checks or money
orders only, payable on a U.S. bank, please.) Order your copy today from:
