SynopsisLearn 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#., 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. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. 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.
