About the technology

Julia is a huge step forward for data science and scientific computing. It is a powerful high-performance programming language with many developer-friendly features like garbage collection, dynamic typing, just-in-time compilation, and a flexible approach to concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing. Although Julia''s strong numerical programming features make it a favorite of data scientists, it is also an awesome general purpose programming language.

About the reader

For data scientists familiar with Python or R. No experience with Julia required.
