Julia Scientific Programming

This four-module course introduces users to Julia as a first language. Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language developed specifically for scientific computing. This language will be particularly useful for applications in physics, chemistry, astronomy, engineering, data science, bioinformatics and many more. As open source software, you will always have it available throughout your working life. It can also be used from the command line, program files or a new type of interface known as a Jupyter notebook (which is freely available as a service from JuliaBox.com). Julia is designed to address the requirements of high-performance numerical and scientific computing while also being effective for general-purpose programming. You will be able to access all the available processors and memory, scrape data from anywhere on the web, and have it always accessible through any device you care to use as long as it has a browser. Join us to discover new computing possibilities. Let's get started on learning Julia. By the end of the course you will be able to: - Programme using the Julia language by practising through assignments - Write your own simple Julia programs from scratch - Understand the advantages and capacities of Julia as a computing language - Work in Jupyter notebooks using the Julia language - Use various Julia packages such as Plots, DataFrames and Stats The course is delivered through video lectures, on-screen demonstrations, quizzes and practical peer-reviewed projects designed to give you an opportunity to work with the packages.

It is a very good introduction to Julia.

While it's indeed a very good introduction to Julia lang, it makes no sense videos are based on course notes.

very good

It's a very good course for beginners of Julia, though I have learned Julia for more than one year, I still learned many useful things in this course.

But this course is still very good in spite of the dated code.

Very good Intro to Julia with interesting practice problems.

Very good way to start learning julia I learn a lot about Julia and many packages that are availables.

Very good introductory course!

version of julia

New learners should first check to make sure that their version of Julia (e.g.

This course uses a pre-release version of Julia.

for data analysis

More content could be covered for data analysis and perhaps more forum discussion could be encouraged.

I would recommend this course for those who want to get to know Julia and many key libraries in it for data analysis and visualization.

data science

The content is well structured and provides enough details so you can write your own (basic) data science routines in Julia.

Nothing too serious, yet, but some of the contents need to be reviewed in face of the current development status of Julia.I am looking forward to see a course on data science with Julia.

This course is more like a lesson for data science, most of them are organized for plotting curve and making diagrams.

This is a great introductory course for getting acquainted with the Julia programming language and its many data science applications.

much better

Now, I feel I have a much better understanding of how Julia works.

However, it will be so much better if updated with Julia v. 1.0+.

so much

I didn't like so much the grading with peer review, as it delayed my completion of the course.

Thank you so much for this exciting course Low quality course in many aspects: videos, updates, code, ideas.
