You may be interested in attending a series of classes on J-programming which I shall be giving in January, as described below. If so, please notify me. 2. You may be interested in reading class discussion notes without attending. If so, just stay tuned. 3. You may not be interested at this time. If not, you should consider unsubscribing from the J-Learn list, or asking me to remove your address. Thanks for your past interest. --Art Anger ---------------- Learn J: the thinking programmers' language You are invited to learn a compactly defined programming language of great flexibility and power. It provides a desk-calculator facility with a rich operation set. Using it on multi-dimensional arrays of values trains you to focus on high levels of data description and processing. Practicing its principles of functional-program form helps you see how to break a large task into useful smaller units. Some professional programmers design, test, and debug their algorithms in J before implementing them in other required languages. Modest acquaintance with some form of computer programming is presupposed. Register with Anger at MIT.Edu . Bring your Windows, Mac, or Unix box, and a pet calculation project.
