You can start with the Tutorials section of the documentation for Visual APL. This contains a good number of examples that can get you started with Visual APL.

You can also search for the QuickStarts in the .Net Framework SDK. The QuickStarts is a set of samples that showcase a lot of the features of .Net and are available in C# and VB.net.

Thanks again Jairo.  I already had a look at the Tutorial and can get the examples working OK (or most of them anyway).

What I want to get a feel for is how to do the equivalent of:

 - Creating a workspace for my app

 - Loading it and executing []lx

and so on.

For example I was unable to do something like:

'fm' []wi 'Create' 'Form'

I think there is so much information I am a bit overwhelmed (I am getting old!).

Cheers.

Hello Grant,

Hope you are keeping well.

There is no workspace with Visual APL, so there is no []lx. []wi is an (enhanced!) legacy feature and like the native and component file systems, not available by default; you have to make a reference to the libraries.

Visual APL is a (welcome, because it is in the right direction!) upheaval in the cosy world of APL+Win. I know exactly what you mean by 'overwhelmed' ... and 'old'.

My version RC7.0 has ceased to work. I do not know what version you are using. The Cielo Explorer is a good place to start and explore the new structure for defining functions, index origin (0 by default), scoping (very different from APL+Win), the reversal of localisation rules. You can also explore the new APL function signatures here (i.e. overloading and the function signatures that allow optional/named/positional parameters).

I would recommend that you watch the webcasts to get started; implicitly, these show how to use VS2005 as well as features of Visual APL.

Thanks Ajay, hope you are well also.  I had a plan, which was to watch the webcasts starting with the oldest first, but I couldn't get them to work, it was as though the files had been corrupted.  I had the same problem on my laptop as well.

The more recent ones work fine.

Cheers.

Grant
