Julia as a Second Language makes it easy to add Julia to your programming toolbox. You will learn about Julia's type system and data structures by modeling the launch of a space rocket, use dictionaries to parse Roman numerals, and discover tuples and arrays through tracking pizza sales. You will even use Julia's unique multiple dispatch feature to send knights and archers into a simulated battle. By the time you are finished, you will be confident in the foundations of Julia and ready to dive into a specialised field like machine learning or data science. Don't be put off by Julia's reputation as a scientific programming language. There's no data science or numerical computing knowledge required. You can get started with what you learned in high school math classes. Research scientists, data analysts and machine learning professionals will appreciate how easy Julia makes it to handle and explore data sets. Experienced programmers will love to learn about Julia's interesting metaprogramming capabilities and the exciting possibilities of the language.
