To get the most out of this book

You will need a version of Julia installed on your computer – preferably Julia 1.8. You can install it from https://julialang.org/downloads/.

All code examples have been tested using Julia 1.8 on Windows OS and Linux. Visual Studio Code can be downloaded from https://code.visualstudio.com/.

For Part 2 of this book (Chapters 4-8), make sure you use the most up-to-date version of the Genie web development framework (version 5, at the time of writing this book).

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
