          &lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt;Ok I am going to attempt to distill what I have learnt of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/&#034;&gt;Fortress &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt; primarily from these &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://research.sun.com/projects/plrg/Publications/PLDITutorialSlides9Jun2006.pdf&#034;&gt;slides&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&#034;font-family: sans-serif;&#034;&gt; : My experience of Fortress so far could be compared to Reading the Haynes manual of a vehicle before driving it. This is not usually a good idea, as all one really needs to get from a to b is to know how to drive. Usually when I do this it I end up disliking a language, as I did by reading BJarne Stroustrup&#039;s C++ Programming language (ISBN-10: 0201327554), BJarne may be a programming genius but his book writing sucks. I am however excited by Fortress so here goes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://www.folknology.com/blogs/default/2007/04/13/1176483868043.html&#034;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
