Getting Data and Code into the Workspace feat. ]Get – Dyalog Webinar with Rich Park
Rich Park
This webinar covers the new and experimental ]Get which provides a unified way to bring data and code, in various forms and from various sources, into the workspace at development time. In addition, the the essential alternatives for integration into applications are discussed.
Get can download, unpack and import APL code and utilities directly from GitHub URLs, including sub-directories.
Some useful text processing methods are shown in "Parsing content from text files using Dyalog APL's ⎕CSV": https://is.gd/dyalog_csv
