Learn the awesome Julia programming language by building fun projects like a rocket launcher, a password keeper, and a battle simulator.
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 JavaScript. 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.
