- I would like to learn the APL2 language and am looking for recommendations
- on a good book to buy. I would prefer a book that does not assume I will
- be using one particular computer system. I would also prefer a book that
- does not waste time trying to teach me programming: I want to learn the
- LANGUAGE, not how important it is to write "structured programs." :-)
- (Especially because I'll mostly be maintaining code rather than writing it.)
-
- If it matters, I will be using APL2 1.3.0 on an IBM 3090 with a Mac running
- Brown tn3270 as my terminal. However, I will eventually be using STSC
- APL on a PC, which is why I prefer the book to be non-system-specific.
