| Summary |
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. 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! What's Inside Data types like numbers, strings, arrays, and dictionaries Immediate feedback with Julia's read-evaluate-print-loop (REPL) Simplify code interactions with multiple dispatch Share code using modules and packages About the Reader For readers comfortable with another programming language like Python, JavaScript, or C#. About the Author Erik Engheim is a writer, conference speaker, video course author, and software developer. Quotes Helped kickstart my use of Julia for serious projects. It's a solid review of the core language features that doesn't get bogged down on programming fundamentals you already know. - Jonathan Owens, GE Global Research Everything you need to learn Julia. - Amanda Debler, Schaeffler Technologies Julia for seasoned programmers. - Kevin Cheung, Carleton University Perfect for anyone who needs to learn Julia but doesn't know where to start. - Simone Sguazza, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland. |
