>Hello, there. I study linguistics and have started learning Icon for
the purposes of string manipulation and textual analysis. I own a copy
of *The Icon Programming Language* and have begun working through it,
but I was hoping to find other references. Can anyone out there make
some recommendations?
Honestly, I think that the book 'The Icon Programming Language' is the basic
start which you need. I believe that study of the large number of routines and
programs which are part of the "Icon Program Library" (also downloadable) will
replace the need for most any other kind of more specialized (or more intensive)
Icon text... demonstrating programming techniques, etc. Of course, the problem
with the routines/programs in the Library is that they are somewhat of a
jumble...
>I found a reference to Alan Corre's *Icon Programming for Humanists*,
but it is not to be found in Books in Print. Anyone know where I could
buy a copy?
I have a copy I bought when it first came out. Quite honestly, if you've worked
through the Griswold book, you really don't need the 'Humanists' book... which I
found to be quite a bit less complete and useful than the Griswold book. You
might want it more just to complete your collection or something.
