      Julia as a Second Language makes it easy to add Julia to your programming toolbox. Ideal for readers who already have basic skills with another programming language like Python, JavaScript, or C#, this textbook provides the foundation for you to dive into a specialised field like machine learning or data science.

      Learn Julia programming by building fun projects, like launching rockets, building password keepers, and even coding battle simulations.

      Julia as a Second Language covers:

      • How Julia implements data types such as numbers, strings, arrays, and dictionaries
      • Solving problems with both object-oriented and functional programming
      • Getting immediate feedback with Julia''s read-evaluate-print-loop (REPL)
      • Taking advantage of Julia''s powerful multiple dispatch system
      • Sharing code using modules and packages

      Julia as a Second Language introduces Julia to readers with a beginning-level knowledge of another language like Python or JavaScript. It skips programming basics and dives straight into Julia''s unique features. You''ll learn by coding engaging hands-on projects that encourage you to apply what you are learning immediately.

      About the technology

      Julia is a powerful high-performance programming language with many developer-friendly features like garbage collection, dynamic typing, just-in-time compilation, and a flexible approach to concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing. Although Julia''s strong numerical programming features make it a favorite of data scientists, it is also an awesome general purpose programming language. Julia''s users call it the "goldilocks language", with a "just right" balance of performance and productivity.

      About the reader

      Readers need basic skills with another programming language like Python, JavaScript, or C#.
