Get efficient with debugging and testing, and learn to exploit metaprogramming in Julia.
Learn to work with input and output streams in Julia, and files of different formats.

Description

Julia is a new programming language designed for the needs of data scientists, statisticians, scientific computing, and engineers. Usually these disciplines have had to use a variety of of tools and languages: Matlab Python with Numpy R C/C++ or Fortran for high performance With Julia you can replace all these tools with one programming language, since it offers both flexibility and speed. Julia is a young language with limited documentation and although rapidly growing, a small user community. Most developers today will know the object oriented paradigm used in mainstream languages such as Python, Java and C++. This presents a challenge switching to Julia which is more functionally oriented. This course will not only introduce the language, but also explain how to think differently about problems with the Julia approach.

Who is this book for?

While Julia has been designed for technical computing it is a programming language well suited in a number of other areas as well. This course does thus not specifically target data scientists or statisticians but is suitable for any programmer.

What you will learn

In this course we will:
Introduce you to the language and the main concepts: control structures, data types and how to do input and output.
Explain how to adapt object oriented thinking to Julia and get you into a more functional way of thinking about programming challenges.
Cover many of the amazing ways Julia can increase both developer productivity through parametrized types, macros, code generation and utilizing existing libraries in other languages. Also learn how to write high performance Julia code.
