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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Technology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulia as a Second Language\u003c\/i\u003e 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat’s Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eData types like numbers, strings, arrays, and dictionaries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eImmediate feedback with Julia’s read-evaluate-print-loop (REPL)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eSimplify code interactions with multiple dispatch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eShare code using modules and packages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers comfortable with another programming language like Python, JavaScript, or C#.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErik Engheim\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, conference speaker, video course author and software developer.
