Learn about migrating APL+Win workspaces to Dyalog in this 24-minute conference talk from Dyalog '24. Explore comprehensive workspace transformation techniques using the Link framework, including restructuring into namespaces, implementing multiline headers, and leveraging new primitives. Discover practical approaches to code management, testing, and deployment while following Markos Mitsos's experience in enhancing modularization and error handling. Gain insights into the cooperation between APL+Win and Dyalog, data exchange through component files, and system functions for files, date-times, and regular expressions. Master the implementation of classes, GUI development, and Microsoft Excel interoperation in the migration process. Access supplementary materials including detailed slides, summary papers, and related articles to support your understanding of this technical transformation journey.
