The Dyalog Cookbook

A guide to organising, shipping and maintaining an application in Dyalog APL.

Written by Kai Jaeger (https://aplteam.com) and Stephen Taylor (http://lambenttechnology.com/) and sponsored by Dyalog Ltd (https://www.dyalog.com).

This is an open-source project. You are invited to contribute using the Forked Workflow model: fork this repository to your own account, make changes and lodge a pull request to include your changes.

Alternatively, write to Kai (mailto:[email protected]) or Stephen (mailto:[email protected]).

The project requires Dyalog APL Unicode 17.0 or later.

The manuscript is written in Markdown and converted into HTML5 by a program written in Dyalog APL.

The project contains various child folders and files; the principle ones are listed here:

Folders

• code/

  Scripts corresponding to different versions of the MyApp application

• manuscript/

  Files from which the chapters (read: HTML5 files) are generated.

• HTML/

  Contains the book as HTML files, each representing a single chapter. There is also one file that comprises all chapters in a single document for searching and printing purposes.

• texts/

  Sample texts in various alphabets. This is used as input in some chapters.

Misc

The content is tracked by Git and lives on http://github.com/5jt/dyalog-cookbook.

There is a Dyalog APL program available that takes the Markdown as input and creates HTML5 pages from it: https://github.com/aplteam/Cookbook_Make.
