1. Introducing Shen Professional
Shen Professional (SP) is a graphical cloud based implementation of Shen with type secure concurrent programming, web connection, an extensive library of utility functions, and graphics. Everything is a click away.. Every month new packages appear and the code base is refined. The documentation is growing continuously. All this happens without the user having to reinstall software. There is direct email support for SP with a fast turnaround time. Our latest release is SP 24.01.
2. What's In SP?
SP includes
Cloud-based servicing.
A programmable IDE giving click access to Shen facilities like tracing.
An inbuilt maths library offering higher-order constructions like mathematical series, provision for FOR statements, as well as radix conversion, and rational and complex numbers.
