Review: Excellent, Long-Needed Book for People Interested in KDB+ - This book is outstanding. KDB+ is a very powerful system, but newcomers can be intimidated by two things: its steep learning curve and the seeming lack of organized introductory material. When I was learning KDB, I considered two resources to be indispensable: First Derivatives "KDB+ Reference Manual" and Boror's "Q for Mortals." Psaris' new text is a VERY welcome addition to that collection. Psaris' book will gently start you with the basics, and then lead you into more powerful examples. The book is very well organized, and I especially enjoyed his explanations as to the rationale as to why KDB does things the way it does. KDB's error messages ("`type"?) can be cryptic, but Psaris' book helped my understanding quite a bit. I bought a copy for myself, but I also bought a copy for my colleague because this book is a godsend for people new to Q. If you're in the same position I was in - experienced in C/C++/Java (but not in any array programming languages); some development/DBA experience in Oracle or MySQL and you think KDB will be more of that same (it most certainly will not); and you have to learn KDB+ - this book will help you immensely. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,024,751 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,398 in Computer Programming Languages #4,757 in Programming Languages (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 47 Reviews | ## Images ![Q Tips: Fast, Scalable and Maintainable Kdb+ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-hN4NvFWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starting point for Q *by K***E on July 20, 2025* Nick is an amazing author and break complex topics down very simply.

I far prefer this to "q for mortals" which is the free book KX puts on its website. Lots of great usable examples, which are worth much more than their cost to the practitioner.
