Re: [Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Thank you all for the resources and encouragement. I actually found the wiki for books on the J site, and found the works of Kenneth. I decided to pause reading "Learning J" as it was going fast for me, and went to read "Arithmetic". Since I am not strong in math, I felt this might be a better intr

Re: [Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Hi Joseph, being a beginner myself, I fully understand the troubles of learning J.. However, my two main learning resources have been: 1. The book "Learning J" which you already mentioned: http://www.learningj.com/ 2. Henry Rich's book "J for C programmers": https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/c

Re: [Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Hi Joseph, Welcome! I pretty much started like you about ten years ago. It's a fun trip, learning J, to be recommended. I learnt most trying to solve problems like on https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/ (though perhaps not best for programming style), https://adventofcode.com/ (perhaps not the sea

… and maybe this overview (attached¹) could aid in understanding the four conjunctions @ & @: &: (that’s the right part; on the left is rank " which is another crucial concept when learing J) keep being fascinated by what’s possible, curious of why things work the way they do, and bold enough to

Re: [Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Welcome Joseph, The @: and & operators are actually conjunctions that can take verbs or a noun (in the case of &) as their operands and have a result that can be a verb or an adverb, unlike verbs which can only take nouns as arguments and can produce only nouns. Lots to learn for sure at this

Re: [Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Thanks Bo, I am actually following the 'Learning J' book that is on the J website. its been good so far, but i've been getting a bit confused with the '&' verb and '@:' verb and what makes them different (they are verbs right?). Its funny because i was bored of math class in high school and was on

Re: [Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Welcome Joseph! Being an old programmer I became fascinated by J.  There is a lot to learn, but some of it is unnecessary to the beginner. The 3 operations, addition (+), multiplication (*), and exponentiation (^), are sufficient for many computations. Having sign change (-) you do not need subt

Hi Joseph and welcome. It’s a friendly and helpful forum who enjoy helping new people grasp the concepts. Feel free to sign out and make use of the resources on the jsoftware.com wiki and website. Rob > On 4 Sep 2021, at 4:23 am, joseph turco wrote: > > Hello all, >

[Jprogramming] Hello, new programmer here!

Hello all, I am a novice programmer and was looking for a language to learn for fun. I tried APL but I couldn't get the keybindings to work on my computer. I then found J from reddit and some google fu. It looks like an awesome language, and i can't wait to learn more and make some fun programs. I
