There is a lot of material on kdb+ on kx's website (http://code.kx.com/wiki/Tutorials), Q for Mortals (http://code.kx.com/wiki/JB:QforMortals2/contents) being the best introductory book.

Also some good resources in this Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-resources-to-learn-q...

And if your interest is in the k language more than kdb+/q, then I have found the docs in John Earnest's ('RodgerTheGreat) oK interpreter a succinct, example-focused introduction: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Manual.... Plus using his browser-based REPL (http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/index.html) may lower the barriers to entry, and iKe (http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/ike/ike.html) is great for experimentation...http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/ike/ike.html?gist=9c5f43baa4...
