Description of  Julia as a Second Language: General purpose programming with a taste of data science

1617299715 pdf,epub,mobi Learn Julia programming by building fun projects, like launching rockets, building password keepers, and even coding battle simulations. 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. Julia as a Second Language makes it easy to add Julia to your programming toolbox. You’ll learn about Julia’s type system and data structures by modeling the launch of a space rocket, use dictionaries to parse Roman numerals, discover tuples and arrays through tracking pizza sales, and use Julia’s unique multiple dispatch feature to send knights and archers into a simulated battle. By the time you’re finished, you’ll be confident in the foundations of Julia and ready to dive into a specialized field like machine learning or data science. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
