I built a free interactive platform to learn KDB/q

I've recently been trying to make the transition into KDB/Q development and have found it quite difficult. Outside of being a hermit, scouring a few related subreddits and working my way through the docs, I've found it such a shift in how I usually think as a developer but also quite an exciting challenge.

I tend to learn much better from doing as opposed to reading so I setup a small project which aims to aid my learning with context relevant examples and exercises and I have to say, it's made learning a little easier!

Ultimately, I wanted to share this project with the community, gather feedback from people who have much more experience than me, see if people find it helpful and just generally refine it based on what feedback I receive.

Some of the things that have been implemented are:

88 lessons and 77 Exercises which cover real-world examples/datasets, ranging from beginner to expert (Experts please grill these exercises!)

Learning paths

Progress tracking via google auth. (Feel free to use a throwaway account should you want to use this)

I'm not trying to sell anything here, but more hear what the community has to say. Ultimately, I'm just happy that I have a way I can learn what was quite daunting to me a little easier but I do appreciate your time in advance should you wish to give it a spin!
