'''APLcart''' is the largest-ever collection of short APL phrases, comprising over two thousand [[Idiom|idiomatic expressions]] from [[Dyalog APL]], [[FinnAPL]], and [[APL2]], and lots of other sources, including the community at large.
'''APLcart''' is the largest-ever collection of short APL phrases, comprising over two thousand [[Idiom|idiomatic expressions]] from [[Dyalog APL]], [[FinnAPL]], and [[APL2]], and lots of other sources, including the community at large. It was created by [[Adám Brudzewsky]] who also maintains the site, but incorporates content and suggestions from the community through through GitHub pull requests and templated issues.


There are plenty of [[documentation|documentation suites]] about what different parts of APL do. For example, in many IDEs, one can press the <kbd>F1</kbd> key while the caret is pointing at a [[primitive function]] or [[system function|Quad name]] to open the appropriate documentation. However, APLcart comes to answer "How do I…" questions.
The service was created in reaction to the lack of resources to answer "how-to" questions from both beginners and professionals. This is in contrast to several ways to access the available [[documentation|documentation suites]] and ways to access them. For example, in many IDEs, one can press the <kbd>F1</kbd> key while the caret is pointing at a [[primitive function]] or [[system function|Quad name]] to open the appropriate documentation.<ref>[[Adám Brudzewsky]]. [https://dyalog.tv/Dyalog19/?v=r3owA7tfKE8 ''APLcart: A Novel Approach to Finding Your Way in APL'']. Dyalog '19.</ref>
 
It is intended for both beginners and professionals, but knowledge of basic APL syntax is a prerequisite.
 
Created and maintained by [[Adám Brudzewsky]], it invites the general APL community to contribute through GitHub pull requests and templated issues.
