Definitely no; I tried something similar with the J dictionary. The right way to learn is to go through "J for C programmers" (it comes with the language), or just grab NuVoc[0] and start writing code for something non trivial. Labs can also help for areas you're not familiar with. Its the composition in J which carries meaning; and stuff like hooks and forks (more or less, writing J AST's directly) make it non-obvious in early days.

- recursive 6y agoI couldn't find "J for C programmers" in my installation, but there seems to be more info here. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Books#J_for_C_Programmers https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Books#J_for_C_Programmers
- scottlocklin 6y agoMemory failing me; it used to be part of the IDE, with a copy of it and the dictionary stored on local storage, but I guess J has changed enough recently it needed to go up on the wiki where it can be changed. You can always find it from nuvoc. Usr Pri JfC LJ Phr Dic Voc !: All these are interesting; some primers, some the old version of the dictionary (I think it's depreciated for now). I end up !: a lot for the foreigns.
