Icon is the topic covered in the March 2010 article

The language selected for this issue in my language series is Icon which was developed by Dr. Griswold. This language has some very unique features. It is in the public domain and there is a web site which is chuck full of interesting applications written in icon for your use.

Also there is plenty of documentation available on this one. You will find the link to the text of this article here:

April 2010 issue covers the language J

As I had already included coverage of the Korn shell which I dedicated to my late wife: Trudy and also the coverage of Lisp which appeared in the June issue the next issue which we have yet to mention is the language J. This language was developed by Ken Iverson which if you read the first article in this language series was the person who developed the language and notation system: APL.

However, J uses only characters in the ASCII set so has no wierd greek letters etc. Other than that it is very APL like in the concepts it uses. You will find the text of the article from the following link:

Note that this appear after the article on Netlogo and all other items should be in order but the article was misplaced and I had to re-send it hence it is out of order. The next issue will be about the math language Octave in September. Meanwhile I will be creating posts on the
many articles which have appeared in the language series since Dec. 2009.
