'''''A Programming Language''''' is the title of a book and a paper, both published in 1962 by [[Kenneth E. Iverson]]. It describes one iteration of [[Iverson notation|his notation]]. The book's title later was used to form the acronym APL. At the time of writing Iverson notation was used for mathematics and description of IBM's hardware, and its purely human purposes are reflected in the loose conventions (relative to APL) and two-dimensional structure of the notation presented in ''A Programming Language''.
