The material in this tutorial will work with any version of APLX, including Windows, Macintosh and Linux desktop versions. The screen shots are taken from APLX running on Windows, but you should find the Macintosh and Linux versions very similar.

Most of the material in this tutorial applies to any dialect of APL. Some of it is specific to APLX, and we've included a note to that effect where possible.
