Julia Training in Uppsala

This course is oriented towards data analysts as well as research scientists. Julia is a rapidly emerging programming language with a strong focus on numerical accuracy, scientific computing and statistics. It has gained most of its reputation due to its speed of execution in conjunction with its ease of programming. What is less emphasized, although it is true, is that

• Julia has a wealth of built-in and external tools for distributed and parallel computing,
• it facilitates the construction of user-defined data structures,
• it makes it easy to do metaprogramming, therefore to also define your ownl DSLs,
• it allows interacting with several other programming languages such as C, Python and R,
• it provides a multiple-dispatch programming paradigm, which in many ways helps you organize your code and makes you a better programmer and software engineer.

This is a general introduction to Julia programming course and is for people new to the Julia language who are looking for a firm foundation
