 | The
book, "Programming with Unicon", is the main definition of the
language. It is updated periodically.
You can look at it free online
in PDF format; the book is
freely copyable and modifiable under
the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
In order to make it more ``open'' in the 2nd edition,
the Unicon book was converted to LaTex and its source is in
the Unicon SVN repository (in doc/book/). There are
some formatting tweaks and corrections/updates still needed.
Please send us any bugs or comments you have to improve the book.

This book documents Icon extensions for high-level
monitoring and visualization and includes numerous code examples.
These facilities are enhanced in Unicon, which provides interpreters
with and without monitoring, and doesn't require that you
recompile your programs to switch from the regular interpreter to
the monitoring interpreter. Published by Springer. At
present, this book is out of print; a new edition is forthcoming
which will cover extensions to the monitoring facilities for debugging.
