As someone else relatively new to J, I found the interactive lab introductions very helpful. "Learning J" is also distributed as part of the help system (LJ at the top of the HTML help pages or http://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm ) and for whatever reason I also found Ewart Shaw's intro www.ewartshaw.co.uk/data/jint.pdf very readable and illuminating despite being a bit out of date. I came from an APL background and so also found http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Doc/J4APL great for getting my head around the differences. I imagine http://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/contents.htm might do the same for others coming from a C background.
