Video Training / IT and Programming for PC Tutorials →Julia as a Second Language, Video Edition

Julia as a Second Language covers
Data types like numbers, strings, arrays, and dictionaries
Immediate feedback with Julia's read-evaluate-print-loop (REPL)
Simplify code interactions with multiple dispatch
Sharing code using modules and packages
Object-oriented and functional programming styles
Julia as a Second Language introduces Julia to readers with a beginning-level knowledge of another language like Python or jаvascript. You'll learn by coding engaging hands-on projects that encourage you to apply what you're learning immediately. Don't be put off by Julia's reputation as a scientific programming language—there's no data science or numerical computing knowledge required. You can get started with what you learned in high school math classes.
About the Technology
Originally designed for high-performance data science, Julia has become an awesome general purpose programming language. It offers developer-friendly features like garbage collection, dynamic typing, and a flexible approach to concurrency and distributed computing. It is the perfect mix of simplicity, flexibility and performance.
About the Book
Julia as a Second Language introduces Julia by building on your existing programming knowledge. You'll see Julia in action as you create a series of interesting projects that guide you from Julia's basic syntax through its advanced features. Master types and data structures as you model a rocket launch. Use dictionaries to interpret Roman numerals. Use Julia's unique multiple dispatch feature to send knights and archers into a simulated battle. Along the way, you'll even compare the object-oriented and functional programming styles–Julia supports both!
