Preparing for the ICFP Programming Contest

I have decided to make a stab at the ICFP Programming Contest this year. Moreover, I have decided to do it in APL, as opposed to something with which I am more familiar, like Scheme. I don't know how that will go, and who knows, maybe the contest will not even let me work in APL. Somehow, I think I should be able to manage it. :devil:

On that note, does anyone have any good ideas for preparing for the contest?

Is APL Dead?

Is APL dead? Not anymore. Changes in modern hardware, business needs, development methods, and our understanding of programming makes APL in its modern state perhaps more relevant and viable than ever before.
