In my previous blog post, I shared my favourite Go-To KDB/Q Learning Resources to help you to get started.

Two main characteristics of KDB/Q, namely its tersness and and its left-of-right evaluation order (KDB/Q expressions are evaluated left-of-right which equates to expressions are evaluated right-to-left), can pose initial challenges for new KDB/Q developers. It's important to overcome these hurdles and become familiar with these features as you progress.
