Hi BrianB2 --

May I respectfully disagree with your statement that AFL is not much of a programming language?

From four line programs that implement real trading systems, to as complex and sophisticated as you care to be, AFL is a very complete, very powerful programming language.

Thanks,
Howard

Hello MyTake,

I started into Ami 9 months ago with only laymans Xcel and another
Formula Language behind me.
To start I half read a basic programming book (SAMS) and MS Script
helpfile.
I was thinking about a C type book but drew the line there (I'm a
time miser).

My naive programmers view of AFL is that it is not so much a
programming language, unless you want to customise add-ons etc, in
which case it it done in script anyway(?).

I see it as modular, pre-prepared programming; like paint by numbers
(Tomasz gave me the paint-box).

I try to focus on the functions.
I believe they are like modules that are joined here and there by a
little repetitive programming type talk.
Once the functions are really understood they can be put together in
modular form to perform your tasks.

Sometimes it is hard work to get to the bottom of the functions
though.

As I said; a naive programmers view.

Good Luck.

BrianB2.

P.S Ami is good fun though.
