This was always my favorite documentation on J and I recommended it several times over the years.

I know that the NuVoc has been recently implemented and I find myself always referring to it. For a J beginner like myself it is indispensable. And the J reference card (which I printed out and often browse) is also a great help. But a quick suggestion to anyone who is continuing to make material: This brief introduction www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/brief.pdf has several great diagrams (page 17). I found this PDF a couple of weeks ago, and just looking at those diagrams it all clicked, in the sense that I pretty much instantly understood how J function composition works, in general. I wish I had found them earlier, and also wish these diagrams figured more prominently in material. (I now the ref card has diagrams for hooks and forks) This is just an observation that might help.
