Basic knowledge of mathematics is needed to understand the various methods that will be used or created in the book to exploit the capabilities for which Julia is made.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand Julia's ecosystem and create simple programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster the type system and create your own types in Julia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand Julia's type system, annotations, and conversions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefine functions and understand meta-programming and multiple dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate graphics and data visualizations using Julia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild programs capable of networking and parallel computation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelop real-world applications and use connections for RDBMS and NoSQL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to interact with other programming languages–C and Python—using Julia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn Detail\u003cp\u003eJulia is a highly appropriate language for scientific computing, but it comes with all the required capabilities of a general-purpose language. It allows us to achieve C\/Fortran-like performance while maintaining the concise syntax of a scripting language such as Python. It is perfect for building high-performance and concurrent applications. From the basics of its syntax to learning built-in object types, this book covers it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book shows you how to write effective functions, reduce code redundancies, and improve code reuse. It will be helpful for new programmers who are starting out with Julia to explore its wide and ever-growing package ecosystem and also for experienced developers\/statisticians\/data scientists who want to add Julia to their skill-set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book presents the fundamentals of programming in Julia and in-depth informative examples, using a step-by-step approach. You will be taken through concepts and examples such as doing simple mathematical operations, creating loops, metaprogramming, functions, collections, multiple dispatch, and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of the book, you will be able to apply your skills in Julia to create and explore applications of any domain.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates the basics of Julia along with some data structures and testing tools that will give you enough material to get started with the language from an application standpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163878572272,"sku":"9781785885365","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785885365_p0.jpg?v=1763729623","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785885365","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
