Getting Started with Julia: Enter the exciting world of Julia, a high-performance language for technical computing

Julia is a new open source programming language that is used in the
field of data science computing. It was created to solve the dilemma
between high-level slow code and fast but low-level code, and the
necessity to use both to achieve high performance. This book will give
you a head start to tackle your numerical and data problems with Julia.
Your journey will begin by learning how to set up a running Julia
platform before exploring its various built-in types. You will then move
on to cover the different functions and constructs in Julia. The book
will then walk you through the two important collection types—arrays and
matrices. Over the course of the book, you will also be introduced to
homoiconicity, the meta-programming concept in Julia.

Towards the concluding part of the book, you will also learn how to
run external programs. This book will cover all you need to know about
Julia to leverage its high speed and efficiency.
