'''APL ∊ BCN''' is a user group based in [[wikipedia:Barcelona|Barcelona]] started by [[User:Mlliarm|Michail Liarmakopoulos]] in late November 2021. Its activities are currently exclusively online due to the continuing impact of the [[wikipedia:COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]], but plans exist for transitioning to regular physical meetups in Barcelona every four weeks, with additional online events every two–three weeks. | |||
It is the first user group based in a country where Spanish is the majority language, but meetings will be held in English to be as accessible as possible. | |||
== | == Goals == | ||
The group was founded with the goals of: | |||
* spreading knowledge of APL and the array family of programming languages. | |||
* spreading knowledge about [[Ken Iverson]] and other people involved in the development of APL. | |||
* sharing knowledge related to the intersection of mathematics and programming. | |||
* fostering a friendly community of people interested in array programming. | |||
== Meetings == | |||
The group organises three distinct types of meetings: general meetings, a historical APL paper reading group, and a general reading group. | |||
'''The password''' for the zoom links is: | |||
* In pseudocode: int(100000*sqrt(3)). | |||
* | * In APL: <source lang=apl inline>⌊100000×3*÷2</source> [https://tryapl.org/?clear&q=%E2%8C%8A100000%C3%973*%C3%B72&run Run it!]. | ||
* In J: <source lang=j inline><.100000*3^%2</source> [https://tio.run/#%23y/oPBDZ6hgYgoGUcp2oEAA Run it!]. | |||
