Does anyone know of some applications written in E?

Photogenics (http://www.idruna.com/products_features.html), Dynamite (http://amisource.de/dynamite/), ChangeIt (http://changeit.ppa.pl/main_gb.html), EvenMore (http://aminet.net/package/text/show/EvenMore), and heaps of other fast and system friendly applications and games were written in AmigaE.

Thanks.
PortablE was written in E as well, now that I recall.
I am having some fun with Port. on Win.
It is definitely different to some of the other languages I have used.
How about games? Oops, I spoke too soon.

Where can I learn about AmigaE as a programming language?

I would be surprised if PortablE was written in Amiga E!  I think it is probably written in C, or C++, or some other easily portable language, as the intent of PortablE is to make it better than C/C++ and some other popular programming languages, while also making it easily portable to many different platforms.  I know that PortablE compiles it's "E" code into C/C++ executable code, or something like that.

Under Section 2.3 Current Status
Portable was written in E.
Sorry, I had to double check myself.
Edit:
@NyteSchayde
Beginner.lha is a good source so far.
7zip seems to be a good way to decompress it on Win.

@amigadave

PortablE was written in Amiga-E and then gradually ported to PortableE, which means it is now capable of compiling itself. That is how he can support so many platforms now.

@trekiej

Most of my programs are written in E:
CodeAudio (formerly TheMpegEncGUI)
MultiRen
Detris
DRemind
JoinSplitter
...

Pretty much everything that says OS3/68k on onyxsoft.se is written in E.
For OS4 I've written DeeJayD (still alpha) and SpeakerRangeTester in PortableE.

That is great to know.
I do find PortablE a little difficult.
It seems a bit rigid but not to difficult.
Maybe it is my experience with C.

Might I suggest ECX?

http://blubbedev.net/ecx/

The site also has some nice classic E info.

PortablE works on more platforms. I do not have anything against ecx. I have not used it.
