If you want to set out and learn KNIME the first question is how much experience you have and what type of learning you prefer.
- Some people like to study books (BOOK),
- some like online self-taught courses and articles (SELF),
- some like video instructions (VIDEO) and
- some like in-person seminars with live tutors (LIVE).
So if you want a guided step by step introduction into KNIME this maybe is the place to start
Then there are the self-paced courses where you would learn yourself step by step (SELF)

They now have been consolidated on a new learning platform:

If you are more experienced with analytic tools and want to dive right into it:
If you just want to get a quick overview about KNIME and its capabilities (SELF)
For a quick overview there is a CHEAT-SHEET
https://www.knime.com/learning/cheatsheets
KNIME Getting Started Guide (SELF)
https://www.knime.com/getting-started-guide
Along with the full documentation covering several topics (SELF)

--------------------------
And then of course there are tons of examples in the KNIME forum (https://forum.knime.com/) and on the KNIME hub (https://hub.knime.com/) where people have solved a lot of problems one might have and give working examples and advice. And part of KNIME is the great community, so do not hesitate to ask.
And finally if you want to study quite advanced examples there is the White Paper section where experienced KNIME users describe in detail some of their more interesting projects and also give you the workflows
