In week 5 of the Dyalog ’19 videos, Francesco Garue tells how, after APL Italiana was acquired by SimCorp and became SimCorp Italiana, the two development teams got to know each other by sharing some code.

Dyalog '19 Videos: Week 4
Welcome to week 4 of the Dyalog ’19 recordings! This week, Tommy Johannesen of Jersie Data tells us about an interesting application that he has written in Dyalog APL.

Goodbye
At the end of May 2019 I am leaving Dyalog, so it seems like a good time to reflect on my time here and what I’ve learned from APL and the APL community.When I joined Dyalog in 2010 I knew nothing about APL, so there was a really steep learning curve as I got to […]
