Ebook: Discover FORTH : learning and programming the FORTH language

Long considered a computer language of building blocks,
FORTH has been optimized for speed and requires little com¬
puter support. Whether you are a beginner seeking informa¬
tion on this multi-faceted programming language or a serious
programmer already using FORTH, this book is a reference
that should not be overlooked.
The text describes FORTH syntax, specifically applicable to
both FORTH-79 and FIG-FORTH. Included are notes on logi¬
cal extensions and alternatives to the standard FORTH syntax.
Hogan explains the history and uses of FORTH and provides a
tightly structured synthesis of material from programming
manuals, independent programmers, and the publications of
the FORTH Interest Group. Many of his observations come
from his own extensive use of FORTH in a major software
project.
