Hi all,
AquaQ Analytics (www.aquaq.co.uk) is pleased to announce today the release of a new series of online training courses for kdb+ and q. This latest offering is in addition to the classroom-based training courses and kdb+ consultancy services provided by the company to clients today.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The courses, starting with kdb+ Bootcamp and kdb+ Booster , have been designed by some of the most experienced kdb+ consultants globally and can be found at training.aquaq.co.uk. The online material for each course includes a series of instructional videos, downloadable slides, sample q code, and self-assessment questions. Learners who attain a sufficient score in the end of course assessment will be awarded a certificate of completion in the form of a virtual badge.
<o:p></o:p>
? kdb+ Bootcamp is aimed at developers and data analysts who are new to kdb+ and want to obtain a good grounding in the use of the technology. This is the equivalent of a 3-day introductory classroom-based training course in kdb+.<o:p></o:p>
? kdb+ Booster is a course aimed at end-users who want to learn how to query and analyze data from an existing kdb+ database.<o:p></o:p>
Interested parties can try out the Free kdb+ Taster course to get a feel for the material with no additional commitment. The company will soon be adding the next course which takes users through the AquaQ TorQ Framework** for kdb+**. This framework, which can be downloaded directly from http://www.aquaq.co.uk/products/, was released to the kx community for free earlier in the year. <o:p></o:p>
Announcing the release of the training site, CEO Ronan Pairceir commented ?We are very excited to be releasing our new online kdb+ training resource to the marketplace. Internally in AquaQ Analytics, these courses have significantly decreased the learning time required for our new staff members to become acquainted with the q programming language. Being able to assimilate the information at the learner?s own pace and revisit the material time and again online is invaluable. I also see this as a great training resource for all of the new developers exploring the 32 bit version of kdb+, which is now free for commercial use.? <o:p></o:p>
