In this tutorial section of the blog, we provide step-by-step guides to help you understand and learn how to build KDB/Q services and applications. We focus on explaining important concepts of the Q programming language through hands-on examples. These tutorials are designed to walk you through the process of creating various KDB/Q services, all while gaining a deep understanding of the core concepts that underlie this powerful language. Whether you're new to KDB/Q or looking to expand your knowledge, these tutorials are a valuable resource to enhance your skills and build robust KDB/Q applications.

📄️ KDB Tick Explained: A Walkthrough [PART 1]

In this blog post, we're diving into the code of a simple Tickerplant. We'll break it down line by line, explaining what each part does and how it fits into the big picture. This will not only demystify Tickerplants but also shed light on important KDB/Q programming concepts. By doing so, you'll gain insights into the inner workings of a Tickerplant and acquire a deeper understanding of key concepts in the KDB/Q programming language.

📄️ KDB Tick Explained: A Walkthrough [PART 2]

In my previous tutorial I walked you through all the helper functions you can find in the u.q file of a plain vanilla Tickerplant. I provided a comprehensive overview of the inner workings of these functions and how they interact with each other. It is now time to circle back and continue with our step-by-step examination of the main tick.q file and complete complete our understanding of the Tickerplant. If you'd like to revisit our previous discussions or if you're new to this tutorial, you can access my earlier post here.
