Ricardo Forno, The advice on the Jsoftware website is sound: "The Wiki has links to all documentation, as well as a host of other information. Start by visiting Wiki page Getting Started." That link is http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/Getting_Started
The main thing I started with in the beginning were the introductory labs under the Studio menu in the J console. Running the labs and the demos again and again helped me become familiar with what it looks like to successfully apply J. The most introductory text is available online. That text is Easy J, and it may be opened from the page noted above. Another introductory text is Learning J, and the remaining text along these lines is the J Primer, which you've already been reading. It seems to me that you already know enough J to benefit from the J Reference Card http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Books#head-4296fcb9d175bb027a6ae9f4d5514522a7a0c02c I laminated a copy months ago and have used it to explore J when I can't be at a computer (which is much of the time). It's not an introductory document, but if you start to use it early on you'll find that it serves as both a map and a dictionary as more and more J primitives enter your vocabulary. Being a beginner here, myself, I'm very interested in how best to surmount the various difficulties that arise with learning J. I intend to muse casually about such topics on my blog, http://www.kaleidic.com/ Tracy Harms -- Perhaps the most important habit in the development of good style in a language [is] the habit of critical reading.
