Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I thought that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon_language did a good job of presenting the /core? of Icon/Unicon in simple, clear terms. Fleshing that out with more non-mathematical examples, would make a good start to a swell tutorial.
Barry: Although parsers do not fall into /my/ problem domain (at the moment), I can see how writing one could give Icon/Unicon vigorous exercise ;) Maybe one of these days, I will be motivated to write one. Steve: 'The Icon Programming Language', is of course /the/ Icon/Unicon bible - it's a manual, thorough and comprehensive, but /not/ a tutorial. There is no doubt about it! The folks on this ML, have been extra helpful. I'm hanging in with the language because of their generous input. Clint: I will look for your suggested "Graphics Programming in Icon". BTW, you could do worse than to write a "Unicon for total newbies book". If you don't, than /if/ I continue with Icon/Unicon, I surely will. More like a Web-based tutorial though. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and encouragement. -- Sid ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
