Book Description

The Forth programming language is radically different from conventional programming languages. It bears little resemblance to C, Java, Pascal, Lisp, Python, etc. This short article will not attempt to teach you the forth language, but instead give you a taste of what forth has to offer, give you a general idea of what the language is, and point you in the direction of various forth resources.

This primer was written in the hope that it will be useful and that starting Forthers aren't put off by the high price of Forth textbooks. It is dedicated to Leo Brodie, who taught me much more than just Forth
