For information on the A+ computer certification program, see the article entitled A Plus (note the upper case "P").
A+ is a powerful and efficient array programming language written at Morgan Stanley.
Primarily used in a computationally-intensive business environment, many critical applications written in A+ have withstood the demands of real world developers over many years. Written in an interpreted language (which is executed by a highly efficient interpreter) A+ applications tend to be quite portable.
A+ provides a rich set of functions and operators, a modern graphical user interface with a wide selection of widgets and automatic synchronization of widgets and variables, asynchronous execution of functions associated with variables and events, and dynamic loading of user compiled subroutines, among other features.
A+ has been suceeded by the K programming language, which does away with some of A+'s unnecessary complexities, such as the existence of statements and two different modes of syntax.
