This quick Julia programming language guide is a condensed code and
syntax reference to the Julia 1.x programming language, updated with the
latest features of the Julia APIs, libraries, and packages. It presents
the essential Julia syntax in a well-organized format that can be used
as a handy reference.
This book provides an introduction that reveals basic Julia structures
and syntax; discusses data types, control flow, functions, input/output,
exceptions, metaprogramming, performance, and more. Additionally, you'll
learn to interface Julia with other programming languages such as R for
statistics or Python. You will learn how to use Julia packages for data
analysis, numerical optimization and symbolic computation, and how to
disseminate your results in dynamic documents or interactive web
pages.
In this book, the focus is on providing important information as quickly
as possible. It is packed with useful information and is a must-have for
any Julia programmer.
