About this training
Julia for programmers
Julia is a (relatively) new language, specifically targeting scientific programming, which recently reached version 1.0. Julia sports interactive and generic programming with a syntax that superfically resembles the one of the MATLAB system, yet it provides many features to deliver extreme numerical performance: type specialization, just-in-time compilation, and support for vectorizing operations over multi-dimensional arrays, together with some more advanced programming techniques: multiple dispatch, hygienic macros, and interoperability with Python and R.
About
This course will be an attempt at introducing Julia by rewriting some examples of scientific code using Julia. The first part of the course will be devoted to introducing the syntax and basic programming in Julia; after that, we shall have a tour of some of Julia's more specific features and how they can help in reformulating scientific programming problems.
