In this talk, I will introduce the audience to Julia and show you how seamless it is to start programing in Julia from a Python background. I will talk about my experience using Julia in a few different projects and why I’ve found Julia an accessible yet special language with a lot of potential. I will also share what I love about the Julia community.
From numerical method class projects to computational physiology research to improving statistical rigoriness of A/B testing at Etsy, I have used Julia in a few different settings. In this talk, I will share my experience solving a variety of problems using Julia and why I find the language to be accessible and unique. I will show the audience how easy it is to pick up Julia, especially coming from a Python background, and how the two languages are similar and different. I will also walk the audience through some exercises that will help them get started programming in Julia.
