Ask HN: Best resources for learning Julia?

6 pointsnpr117y ago2 comments

Julia have just released v1.0, and I would like to try it out! (https://julialang.org/)

Usually I use Python for scientific computing, and find it good for machine learning, and I know some R/Stan which I find better for Bayesian statistics. I'm hoping Julia will be the best of both, but the homepage doesn't have great resources for getting started - any recommendations?

I run a workshop series specifically for this demographic and the notes are online:

http://ucidatascienceinitiative.github.io/IntroToJulia/

It's mostly problem-based. I hope that by showing you a manual, some resources I like to use, some problems, and then some high level discussions you can get up and working in no time. Sources for "how to write a function" can be found elsewhere: this resource starts assuming you can read a manual if you know what to search for.

(Note that there are some v1.0 updates still necessary, but most works)
