I went googling for some deeper material on how to think like an APL programmer. I have read/skimmed through a good set of the material on http://jsoftware.com/papers/ and have skimmed through many of the books listed on http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Books.
Are there any specific recommendations, free or for purchase? Or, perhaps I should spend more time with the list above. I found this, The APL Idiom List by Perlis and Rugaber, which looks similar to what I'm looking for: http://archive.vector.org.uk/resource/yaleidioms.pdf. The review of this book looks like what I'm after, http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-APL-programming-Clark-Wiedmann/dp/0884050262, constructing useful programs and going into more depth. Or something of the style of The Little Schemer, http://scottn.us/downloads/The_Little_Schemer.pdf I searched the forum and had trouble finding a relevant post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
