Course Overview
Leverage the high-performance computing capabilities of Julia. This course guides you through advanced data structures, execution timing, custom function definitions, DataFrame transformations on video game sales data, and interoperability with Python and R.
Who Should Enroll?
Designed for learners who have completed introductory Julia concepts and want to harness Julia's speed, data structures, and cross-language integration.
Key Takeaways
- Advanced Data Structures: Work effectively with Julia dictionaries, tuples, custom structs, and loops.
- Performance & DataFrame Operations: Time code execution and perform complex DataFrame manipulations on regional sales datasets.
- Language Interoperability: Integrate Python and R tools into Julia workflows using PyCall and RCall packages.
About this course
Julia is a relatively new programming language built with speed and performance in mind, and it can do this while maintaining a similar syntax to other programming languages such as Python or Ruby. This course follows the Introduction to Julia course, introducing topics such as looping and timing so that you can take advantage of Julia's speed and performance.
At the end of this course, you'll be able to work with more complex DataFrame operations to inspect and clean a global video game sales dataset broken down by region. You will also be able to leverage your Python and R knowledge in Julia as we introduce the PyCall and RCall packages, allowing you to use Python and R functions in Julia.
By the time you finish, you'll have built a strong Julia programming foundation which you can continue to develop through further courses.
Build on Your Julia Foundations
Building on the core concepts of the introductory course, you will be one step closer to mastering Julia. You will first learn about different loops, one of the most common tools in Julia, and all programming languages.Cover Advanced Julia Data Structures
You'll also cover advanced data structures, including dictionaries, tuples, and structs. In addition, you will learn how to define your own Julia functions for code re-usability and how to time your code to be as efficient as possible.At the end of this course, you'll be able to work with more complex DataFrame operations to inspect and clean a global video game sales dataset broken down by region.
