This book is designed for people with a working knowledge of APL
who would like to increase their fluency in the wide range of extra
facilities offered by second-generation APL products. Although the
primary product in view is IBM's APL2 as implemented on mainframe,
PC and RS/6000, the language fea tures covered share considerable
common ground with APL *PLUS II and Oyalog APL. This is a book
about skills rather than knowledge, and an acquaintance with some
variety of APL on the reader's part is assumed from the start. It
is designed to be read as a continuous text, interspersed with exer
cises designed to give progressively deeper insight into what the
authors conceive as the features which have the greatest impact on
programming techniques. It would also be suitable as a text-book
for a second course in APL2, although experience suggests that most
programming language learning is now by self study, so that this
volume is more likely to provide follow-up reading to more
elementary texts such as "APL2 at a Glance" by Brown, Pakin and
Polivka. Material is discussed more informally than in a language
manual - in this book textual bulk is in proportion to difficulty
and importance rather than to the extent of technical details.
Indeed, some APL2 extensions are not covered at all where the
technicalities pose no great problems in understanding and can be
readily assimilated from the language manuals."
