This webcast will have an accompanying IM session. There will be a moderator using IM to take your questions, provide answers and forward questions to the presenters to be answered during the webcast. This should provide a similar experience to raising your hand to ask a question during a presentation, but with the advantage that you can chat without getting in trouble. The moderator IM account to be used with the presentation will be Microsoft Live Messenger.

APLNext syntax series
The legacy APL function header is great for creating user defined function, or what other languages refer to as operators, but with APLNext you now have a new function signature!
It is important to note that the new function signature includes not only the name, but the arguments as well. This function overloading brings both interoperability with other languages, as well as production benefits.
The new function syntax supports:
named arguments
argument lists
named argument lists
argument typing
default arguments
and of course overloads!
