Whither Scientific & Engineering APL?

#31 07-14-2008, 04:25 PM

I am also a Mechanical Engineer (a PE actually). I would love an
opportunity to demonstrate APL to the engineers, but I have been in
software, sales, banking, financial modeling and entrepreneurship for
decades, and the engineers no longer want me nor give a glance at my
resume.

Go figure.

It is hard for me to grasp. A Space Shuttle Designer like myself on
unemployment for years, and years ........

Meanwhile, I have started on my own new project! A book! "APL for C#
Programmers" One chapter written. Hard work! LOL. Stay tuned.

Hi Vess,

That's hard.
Go in something people understand. E.g. chewing gum. Sold by the
billions for two quarters a piece - make a dime on each ... (like Nico
Mak did with his WinZip stuff)
