A tutorial for the Icon programming language

Icon is a large, full-featured, high-level programming language. Also, some of its features---especially the way expressions work---are very different than a lot of other languages.

To get a taste of Icon, work your way through this tutorial.

To see a small but complete Icon program, see `Icon says hello'.
For instructions on using the Icon system, see `Compiling and running an Icon program'.
An introduction to basic Icon syntax starts at `Doing simple arithmetic in Icon'.
Some of the important Icon features for text processing are introduced in `Text processing in Icon'.
The rich yet elegant Icon features for building complex data structures are introduced in `Using data structures in Icon'.
