Ask HN: Best resources for learning Julia?
Julia have just released v1.0, and I would like to try it out! (https://julialang.org/)
Usually I use Python for scientific computing, and find it good for machine learning, and I know some R/Stan which I find better for Bayesian statistics. I'm hoping Julia will be the best of both, but the homepage doesn't have great resources for getting started - any recommendations? I run a workshop series specifically for this demographic and the notes are online: http://ucidatascienceinitiative.github.io/IntroToJulia/ It's mostly problem-based. I hope that by showing you a manual, some resources I like to use, some problems, and then some high level discussions you can get up and working in no time. Sources for "how to write a function" can be found elsewhere: this resource starts assuming you can read a manual if you know what to search for. (Note that there are some v1.0 updates still necessary, but most works) https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html Introduction to Julia - By Jane Herriman
