I'm probably stating the obvious here, but before attempting to write factor code I'd recommend modifying your editor to set up a hotkey for running 'help' and 'see' so that you can quickly decipher unfamiliar code. Factor has a big enough learning curve without requiring you to break flow every time you want to see what the stack effect of a word is. If it's any consolation I found factor really heavy going and unproductive in the early weeks, but it does get easier.
