The `q` language is documented with lots of learning materials on: [https://code.kx.com/q/](https://code.kx.com/q/")

There are also courses on [https://kx.com/academy/](https://kx.com/academy/")

&nbsp;

`k` is the underlying language which you do not need to interact with. See this note: [https://community.kx.com/t5/New-kdb-q-users-question-forum/rotate-function-differences-between-k-and-q/m-p/13186/highlight/true#M544](https://community.kx.com/t5/New-kdb-q-users-question-forum/rotate-function-differences-between-k-and-q/m-p/13186/highlight/true#M544")

You can trap using `.` or `@`
