Get started on Julia Programming!

  • What is Julia Programming?

    Prepared by core Julia developers in collaboration with Julia Computing, Julia is a high-level, high-performance, dynamic programming language. While it is a general-purpose language and can be used to write any application, many of its features are well suited for numerical analysis and computational science.

  • Learning Outcomes

    The course covers the Julia core basics with an overview into the larger Julia ecosystem with the goal of helping programmers leverage their existing programming skills and knowledge seamlessly into the Julia environment. The course also provides a basic overview of the advanced features for high performance computing and the libraries available to the Julia developer as a preparation for more advanced work.
