Introduction to Link

Date & Time: Tues 30 Sept 1:30 PM

Most actively-maintained APL systems are switching to using text files for source, rather than workspaces or component files. This allows integration with source code management systems, build and test frameworks, or even to experiment with “agentic AI”. If you have not yet experienced the benefits of text-based source, or you understand the benefits but need help to get started, this workshop is for you.

Link allows you to use Unicode text files to store APL source code, rather than “traditional” binary workspaces. The workshop includes:

  • how to find and use the documentation.
  • the types of APL objects that can be handled, and how each is represented as text.
  • how Link synchronises changes made inside and outside the active workspace.
  • migrating an existing workspace to text-based source.
  • using GitHub to manage “Linked” source code.
