Becker has twice been recognized by the ACM/SIGAPL for "Innovative APL | Becker has twice been recognized by the ACM/SIGAPL for "Innovative Use of APL". First for his systems to maintain online versions of the U.S.C. (United States Code - the body of permanent Federal laws) and the C.F.R (Code of Federal Regulations - the body of regulations for all Federal agencies). These systems were unique in that they not only presented a structural view of the material, but a chronological view as well. Becker's second recognition was for his full-text search engine, originally developed to search the U.S.C. and C.F.R.. This search engine executed searches several orders of magnitude faster than previous solutions. | ||
In the 1990's, Becker contributed to the design of the first [[user command]] system and several of his ideas have found their way into various APL implementations. He has been involved with the [[APL Problem Solving Competition]] since its inception in 2009, first as a judge and also later as its primary problem content developer. Based on the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r1-Q4KxxrA&t=26m56s feedback from the 2011 competition winner], he implemented the first version of [[TryAPL]] in 2012. | In the 1990's, Becker contributed to the design of the first [[user command]] system and several of his ideas have found their way into various APL implementations.
