The Primer is one of them. As recommended, a beginner should focus of on practical examples, such as the Introduction and Sample Topics and keep Dictionary for occasional reference at first. All the references to available literature are in J Wiki http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Documentation http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Showcase If you are looking for something particular that you cannot find in those sources, it would be valuable to know what those things are. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?
