I want to take a USB handset and scroll through real-time options pricing data for NYSE equities. Is this a profitable business opportunity?

The best place to start would be [code.kx.com](https://code.kx.com/q/" ""q") where you will find a whole bunch of information on getting started with kdb+ and q; check out the ‘Intro Tour’ to get started.

Once familiar with the base language, you could then look into the [Grammar of Graphics](https://code.kx.com/analyst/libraries/grammar-of-graphics/") with [KX Developer](https://code.kx.com/developer/") IDE to create some visualisations, then if you wanted to go a step further you could look at [KX Dashboards Direct](https://code.kx.com/dashboards/") to create some dashboards for visualising the data.

Additional self-serve and on-demand training material can be found on the [KX Academy](https://kx.com/academy/") and we also have a lot of useful threads across our various [KX Community Discussion Boards](https://community.kx.com/t5/Discussion-Forums/ct-p/discussion_forums").

Hope this helps.[

Kind regards,

More specifically, I would like to learn how to use the Q/kdb+ console to generate a visual output consisting of a fluid array of values based upon the input of a wireless or wired gamepad. My question involves the mechanics of real-time array generation and derivative processing for the video output, and signal processing for the inputs of the handheld gamepad. Where is the material I can reference for learning these topics?
