Phil Dawes' Stuff: Beginning Factor is like programming assembler

    How did you get about learning it ?
    Is there any accessible tutorial aimebd at beginners (I have no previous experience of stack PL) ?
    Thx

    Hi Manu,

    The factor cookbook started me off, but the thing I found really good was Leo Brodie's "Thinking Forth" Book, which helped convince me that time spent learning a stack language wasn't a waste of time.

    This is one of those posts that could work really well with an example...

    hmmm.. I think you're right. Maybe I should elaborate in another post. In the meantime I suspect the factor mailing list is littered with examples. Here's a recent one.
