**Stephen Taylor (q201.org) *How to Think in Vectors.*** As a wrapper around the k programming language, q lets you draw on your knowledge of SQL and scalar programming languages. This meets the need of the many who use q simply as a data pipeline. Access to the full power of kdb+/q means mastering the densely overloaded syntax and vector paradigms q and k inherit from Iverson Notation. Q201 is a study resource for that, and this workshop is a taste of it. We shall work in pairs to find vector solutions to some simple and probably familiar problems.

Prerequisites:

* Laptop with kdb+/q installed (v4.1 if possible)
* Use of text editor and command shell
* **Prior experience writing q** (*this is not an introduction to the language*)

I learned APL in 1975 and was trained as an instructor by Ken Iverson when we both worked for I.P. Sharp Associates. I have worked with software through most of a life that has had me living in Britain, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, Korea, and the USA. I got Arthur Whitney hired to write his first interpreter. For some years I edited the British APL Association’s journal *Vector.* In 2016 KX asked me to take over [code.kx.com](http://code.kx.com/) and I wrote the [q Reference](https://code.kx.com/q/ref/). I host the conference series [Iverson College](https://iversoncollege.com/). My current project is [q201.org](https://q201.org/).
