I usually recommend searching for "Beginner's Regatta" on the Jsoftware site. Also, this - https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/GettingStartedSerious - looks promising. For more theoretical underpinnings of the language, you might look at "A Dictionary of APL" - https://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/apl/Books/ADICTIONARYOFAPL . According to Roger Hui, the ideas presented here form much of the basis of J.
