How to use this tutorial

This tutorial assumes you have some beginner programming knowledge, and a basic understanding of what arrays are.

Most chapters will have Vocabulary and Exercise sections at the end. I suggest getting familiar with the vocabulary and doing the exercises in each part before moving on the next lesson.

If you are feeling stuck with the tutorial’s content or exercises, please come to the ngn/k room on matrix (recommended), the APL farm, or just open an issue here.

If you would like to check your exercise solutions with mine, you can check the code folder.

Progress

This tutorial is complete, and will not see the addition of any further chapters, unless ngn/k undergoes new changes.

Any other chapter ideas that were previously here may be covered in separate articles, outside this book. No promises though :)
