  • "Managing" a SQLite Database with J (Part 2)
    2 projects | dev.to | 9 Aug 2022
    With this in mind, I wrote a few versions of this post, but I hated them all. Then I realized that jodliterate PDF documents mostly do what I want. So, instead of rewriting MirrorXref.pdf, I will make a few comments about jodliterate group documents in general. If you're interested in using SQLite with J, download the self-contained GitHub files MirrorXref.ijs and MirrorXref.pdf and have a look.

    jupyter will nicely syntax color your code. It even does a decent job of breaking lines. The GitHub files brandxmp.ijs.pdf and brandxmp.ijs.html are examples of what you get right out of the box.
  • Branding XMP Sidecar Files with J
    3 projects | dev.to | 19 Jul 2022
    For details on how to use titbrandxmp refer to the J script brandxmp.ijs and the associated document brandxmp.pdf. Both of these files are available on GitHub. Enjoy!

  • JETL - J Extract Transform and Load
    3 projects | dev.to | 12 Aug 2021
    Despite the ubiquity of J oriented text editors and script handling tools I store all my J code, test cases, and documentation in a coding tool I developed called JOD. JOD is a refactoring tool. It lets you easily reuse J words in arbitrary contexts without error prone cut-and-pasting or rampant over-inclusion. I use JOD from three J environments, jconsole, JHS, and JQT. JOD is one of many J addons. It can be installed with the J pacman utility. JOD has been entirely programmed in J and is a good example of using J to build larger systems. JOD source code is on Github. See The JOD Page for more about JOD.
