I started out using Sharp APL in 1976, after a few years as a Fortran / Assembler / other - mainly Cobol - programmer. I also used TIS APL, Data General APL (can't be many people who can say that), VS/APL from 1981 to 1985, STSC's NARS for a couple of years, then APL*Plus (DOS version) from 1986 right up until 2004 (yes 2004), then from 1996 to 2000 VS/APL, APL+ on mainframe & Dyalog/W. I've continued with Dyalog, a little APL+ & experimented with APLX. So I've been around the block a bit |

I've been in IT since 1974, before that I did the first "A" level in computing available in England. Primarily working in APL since 1976. Like a lot of APLers I've spent much of my time in the financial business area, in my case an awful amount of trading systems for banks.

Although, again like many of us, I like to pontificate on any subject to hand, I've not written an article for years, nor have I given a talk to the BAPLA or at a conference for some time.
I do have a lot of experience with Wiki systems, so I hope to do some APL related ranting here
