This book is designed for people with a working knowledge of APL who would like to increase their fluency in the wide range of language facilities offered by APL2. The first chapter discusses APL2 arrays and functions. Chapter 2 considers operators and then Chapter 3 demonstrates how nested arrays handle data structures. Subsequent chapters provide more in-depth discussion and use of the language. Emphasis is placed on covering those APL2 language features which extend user versatility in describing data structures and communicating algorithms in ways which mirror current array-oriented thinking in computing science and software engineering.
