Short Description
Software modernisation or re-engineering is an undefined concept that tends to mean different things to different people. This book seeks to clarify the problem by identifying the solution to long term survival of the APL application as the elimination of APL specific considerations in the choice of a development tool. Increasing the collaborative nature of APL will allow it to be come an even more valuable tool for application development.
Software modernisation or re-engineering as a concept lacks universal clarity. System Building with APL + Win seeks to clarify this problem by identifying the solution to the long term survival of the APL application as the elimination of APL specific considerations in the choice of a development tool. The author shows how to deploy mainstream industry standard system components within an APL + Win development environment, enabling the APL application to be just like any application on the Windows platform.
* Demonstrates the power and agility of APL + Win in today's approach to system building
* Features a 'code intensive' approach, which overcomes the lack of APL+Win specific documentation of system components
* Illustrates the potential for multi-language system building from an APL+Win environment
* Explains how increasing the collaborative nature of APL will enable it to become an even more valuable tool for application development
System Building with APL + Win provides an excellent resource for system developers and training providers using the software, as well as MS Office users who wish to incorporate it into a bespoke application development. It will also be of interest to users of other APL interpreters.
