• D17: SharpLeaf : Flowing Automated Reports to Paper Nicolas introduces SharpLeaf, a page-based document publishing tool that can be used as the foundation for the generation of tabular reports. Textual reports can easily be combined with charts produced by SharpPlot, Dyalog’s chart-generation tool. He uses an example-based demonstration to run through SharpLeaf’s features and capabilities; this portion of the presentation is a great introduction to SharpLeaf for anyone getting started with it.

• U13: TamStat, a Statistical Package
Stephen Mansour (The Carlisle Group and University of Scranton) presents TamStat, a statistical package based on Dyalog – which “tames” statistics and helps students learn the fundamental principles of statistics faster, through the use of an elegantly-designed set of functions and operators. Jerry Brennan (Jerry M Brennan PhD Inc) continues the statistics theme, introducing the MiServer website he has created to teach statistics and mathematics through APL.
