Good resources to learn the Factor programming language?

Question

What are some good resources to learn the Factor programming language?

I understand that Factor is based on Forth, so I guess resources on Forth would be nice too.

Answer 1

To get started, there's a screencast

Answer 2

Begin with these two (old but great) books by Leo Brodie:

• Starting Forth
• Thinking Forth

Both books are available free on the web:

• Starting Forth: [http://home.iae.nl/users/mhx/sf.html]
• Thinking Forth: [http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/]

Also check out www.forth.com

Answer 3

The Factor implementation and runtime itself is also a good resource to learn factor:

The listener allows you to explore, walk, and modify almost everything. Moreover the documentation is completely embedded in the runtime, with sample tutorials to get started with.
