This is my first time on the Wiki and I am feeling a little lost, so before I write the page that tells you about this program and why I think it might be interesting to some APL beginners, I am going to: [AboutTheWiki] and [BeginnersStartHere] ... = Status =

If you are following in my footsteps look next at SpecialCharacters. Then try, at any Wiki page, entering "find" (say) in the box at the top right of the window and clicking the "titles" button. Now read the second lesson of the helpful Wiki course you have just found. There are so many things to learn, and so many ways to do it, that the Wiki beginner feels lost (at first) and then unsure whether there are better ways of doing it. === Testing ===

That was not a good idea, what happens when you click on a thumbnail like this is confusing enough with a proper picture but when your image is a bit of the wiki it is even stranger.

I started using APL in the early 1970s and now I am retired I still use it for fun. I have written a couple of articles for vector, you will find the first at http://www.vector.org.uk/archive/v103/morgan103_81.htm.

The second described a quick and dirty Sudoku program. It was intended to stop me wasting too much time solving problems because I would know my computer could do it better then me. Then it occurred to me that I could write a better program if I learnt more about how to solve them. Now I have a large and dirty Sudoku program and still waste time working them out myself.
