Introduction to Julia

Get Started with Julia Programming

Julia is a new and exciting programming language designed from its foundations to be the ideal language for scientific computing, machine learning, and data mining. This course will give you a running start in your journey with Julia.

You’ll start by covering the very basics of Julia, so you can follow along if you have never programmed before. However, by the end of the course, you'll be analyzing DataFrames of patient data and book ratings. If you already know another programming language, we'll help you transfer this knowledge to Julia.

Learn the Basics of Julia Programming

Designed to encompass the speed of C, the general programming ability of Python, and the statistical prowess of R, Julia is simple to learn and very powerful.

As you work through this course, you'll learn about the special features of the Julia programming language, including how Julia handles data types.
