Some of the best resources for somebody new to APL and programming in general are:
* The [https://tryapl.org/?tab=3 Learn tab on TryAPL]
* The book [https://www.dyalog.com/mastering-dyalog-apl.htm Mastering Dyalog APL] by Bernard Legrand
* The APL Cultivation [https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/52405/the-apl-orchard?tab=conversations Stack Exchange Lessons]
* The [https://tutorial.dyalog.com Zark APL Tutor]
Follow one or a couple of these tutorials through and play around a bit. To learn APL the advice is similar to that for learning other languages: have a goal (something you want to accomplish) and try to do it. Along the way you are sure to come across the pitfalls and gotchas of the language, and with time you may come to appreciate what APL thinking means.
