Answer 2

+5 A:

I found a scan of APL: An Interactive Approach.

This is a great, if dated, book to learn from.

Definitely dated, but the best source that I have found so far.

Look no further you won't find a better source. I learned APL from the book about 30 years ago. I think it's not just a great book for learning APL from, but a great computing instruction text too.

Answer 3

+2 A:

Python script to download all the scans:

def download(url, filename):
     import urllib
     webfile = urllib.urlopen(url)
     file = open(filename, 'w')
     file.write(webfile.read())
     webfile.close()
     file.close()

for i in xrange(1, 390):
     download('http://scanserver.ulib.org/is/scanserver/book24/tiff/apli%.4d.tif?rs=1&amp;br=0.0&amp;rt=0' % i, 'apl%.4d.tif' % i)

Answer 4

A:

Look for the tutorial on http://aplwiki.com

It offers a taster. With the Open Source APL NARS2000 you do not have to spend a buck on an APL interpreter. For getting seriously into APL, go for APLX or Dyalog.

Watch out! You will get addicted quite soon - or not.

Answer 5

A:

The K&R book for APL is probably "An Interactive Approach" by Gilman and Rose but there are lots of other books, tutorials, exercises, puzzles, processors and links listed on the APL Wiki
