Programs will run in BB just like they do in KDE (only faster), you can run them from the CLI or you can create your own menus so you just click on what you want to run. Do a "man blackbox" and read up on editing the BB menu. I have all the apps I use all the time on the top level so all I have to do is right-click on the screen and click the app I want to open.
At the bottom of the screen there is a bar with arrows on it. The arrows on the left cycle through workspaces and the arrows on the right cycle through windows. You can also get bbpager which places a pager at the bottom of the screen.
and for easy configuring, I would recommend bbconf, a package with wich you can configure the menu, the layout and the key bindings with a grafical interface
