Introducing Julia/print

Introducing Julia Introduction The Julia programming language is easy to use, fast, and powerful. This wikibook is intended as an introduction to the language for the less experienced and occasional programmer. For more learning materials, including links to books, videos, articles/blogs and notebooks, refer to the learning section at Julia's official site. The official Julia documentation is the authoritative guide, and you should refer to it as often as possible as you learn. It's the "reference" guide both for the langugage itself and for the set of standard packages (the "standard library") that are provided as part of the basic installation. A feature of Julia is the extensive use of add-on packages to add functionality and features, and to extend the syntax of built-in functions. Good places to look for packages (which are mostly free to download from github.com) include the JuliaHub and the Julia Packages sites. Packages provide their own documentation and many provide extensive tutorials. The Julia community has established a good ethos of encouraging participation in the development of the language on github. The advantage of this wikibook is that it's made and edited by the Julia community – you can edit anything at any time. If you find something that's wrong, or unclear, feel free to correct it, or add examples. (Your first few edits are reviewed, just in case you have less than good intentions. And, as with the Wikipedia, you should expect your writing to be edited by others!) The focus should be largely on the new user, rather than the computer science expert. External links The Julia manual – the official rulebook: current and in-development documentation is available here. The JuliaLang Discourse - the main Julia programming language discussion forum JuliaHub – a Julia Computing service that includes search of all registered open source package documentation, code search, and navigation by tags/keywords. It is powered by Julia Team. JuliaPackages – see what packages are popular and/or trending, navigate by package categories. Julia.jl – a manually curated taxonomy of Julia packages A Month of Julia – 38 blog posts about using Julia.
