This four–module course introduces users to Julia as a first language. Julia is a high–level, high–performance dynamic programming language developed specifically for scientific computing. This language will be particularly useful for applications in physics, chemistry, astronomy, engineering, data science, bioinformatics and many more. As open source software, you will always have it available throughout your working life. It can also be used from the command line, program files or a new type of interface known as a Jupyter notebook (which is freely available as a service from JuliaBox.com). Julia is designed to address the requirements of high–performance numerical and scientific computing while also being effective for general–purpose programming. You will be able to access all the available processors and memory, scrape data from anywhere on the web, and have it always accessible through any device you care to use as long as it has a browser. Join us to discover new computing possibilities. Let’s get started on learning Julia. By the end of the course you will be able to: – Programme using the Julia language by practising through assignments – Write your own simple Julia programs from scratch – Understand the advantages and capacities of Julia as a computing language – …

While the course does a good job of explaining most things but if you struggle with a problem or a topic support is nearly non existent and offline resources for julia are limited. No one used the discussion forums either unfortunately.
Saikat M –
Good introductory course – but assignments can be made more interesting with actual problems in scientific areas or basic algorithms instead of command knowledge testing.
Keith W –
A clear and well presented course. Suitable for newcomers and relatively new users of Julia. The course notes (Jupyter notebooks) are a useful reference after the course.

Great introduction to Julia and programming
Shaun C –
Julia is a great language to learn. It is fast! Julia is my future core language.
Yi–Yang L –
Good! But it’s kind of easy.
Roberto P G J –
Very good for beginner
Yanal K –
Amazing course, introduces the Julia Programming Language in a very intuitive way. Honor Assignments are a great bonus that give a more in–depth Julia experience. Highly recommended for anyone entering the Julia landscape.
Vinicius G –
The best thorough course for the foundations in analysis in Julia. I have not found any easy and complete explanation of Julia basics than this course. I completed the books Julia for Data Science by Anshul Joshi and other by Zacharias Voulgaris but they did not have as a solid foundation as this course has provided. Those books show more complex examples which will be easier to solve and understand after taking this course than the foundation provided in those books. Worth every penny for beginners to learn and experts to improve or polish their knowledge in Julia. Best course for beginners/expert I have ever had in my programming career.

The course started out well wit goof balance between lectures and applications during the first three weeks. Towards the end it felt rushed with too much content crammed into the last week.
Nikolaos P –
It was very exciting. I widen further, my computing horizons Hope, that the university will launch in the near future, a more advanced course of “Julia Scientific Programming”
Shlok M –
Liked the Honors course content. A good introduction to Julia. Recommended to all freshers in coding, especially for those who are pursuing courses in numerical techniques. You’ll be able to write very intractable and efficient codes.
Mark L –
This is an excellent introduction to the Julia language. My only complaint is that the course was written when Julia 0.4.6 was the standard, so when I used the current Julia 0.6.0 some of the instructor–provided code contained deprecated functions, or did not run at all, requiring a trip to the Julia API to find the currently–used syntax. But this course is still very good in spite of the dated code.
Sergio–Feliciano M –
This is a great course to begin Julia programming!
Arshpreet s –
Amazing Explanation, in–Depth and concise, Well taught course, Loved the Julia Programming and it’s inbuilt functions.
Ananda N –
Wonderful course to know the basics of Julia progamming
Mark S –
The course was excellent. Thank you for all the work that has gone into this. I recommend it for anyone who wishes to start using Julia or is simply curious about Julia.
S S A R –
Poorly organised course content
Svyatoslav P –
Excellent, engaging teaching that makes me want to use Julia language (and Jupyter notebooks) all the time. As the language evolves, you need to adjust to newer Julia versions – just a part of fun.
Abdullah D –
Good course with good content. I didn’t like so much the grading with peer review, as it delayed my completion of the course. Nevertheless, a good course.
Josue T C –
It teaches the basics of programming in Julia and it is a good initation for getting familiar with Julia.
Nuno G –
I found this a great introductory course on Julia for scientists. I specially loved the classes about data frames, user–defined types, and the Gadfly package. The course needs to be updated, though, videos, exercises and Julia notebooks. Nothing too serious, yet, but some of the contents need to be reviewed in face of the current development status of Julia. I am looking forward to see a course on data science with Julia.
Antonio P –
Great course!
MARIO Z A –
Un excelente curso para iniciarse en la programacion cientifica.
Francois C –
Nice introduction to Julia.
Peter D –
Nice introduction into Julia. The content is well structured and provides enough details so you can write your own (basic) data science routines in Julia. I also liked the Ebola use–case and to learn about modelling such an outbreak. Personally I would prefer more videos about some of the more advanced language features and less about plotting libraries and the likes. But I guess that really depends what you are looking for. Overall a highly recommended course.
Jonathan K –
Good introduction to basic julia.
Luis A C G –
While it’s indeed a very good introduction to Julia lang, it makes no sense videos are based on course notes. I paid for the course because it has very positive comments, but in my opinion it doesn’t worth it.
Subhankar –
The course could have been much better if it was more aligned with the language itself instead of the epidemic and disease stuffs.
A. C T –
Good pace, materials and choices of problem sets.
YinpuLi –
It is very simple to get hands on with examples and practice quizzes. However, it will be so much better if updated with Julia v. 1.0+.
Paul F G –
Great course, well taught and thorough. I would only add that it needs to be updated from the version in the course (0.4.6) to the latest, full version of Julia, e.g. (1.x). I would have given 5 stars but for that fact.
Joao V d P –
Curso muito bom, no entanto, falta atualizacao para Julia 1.0
Leonel M –
Good Course
Ian W –
Very well designed and organized. Had a lot of fun learning with this course!
Ehsan M –
The course wasn’t well prepared. There were two teacher with completely different pace of teaching. First one slow and the second one very fast. The content provided for weeks weren’t balanced. the 4th week took 3 times more time compared to each of the first three weeks. The transition of the content to the new Julia version in the middle of taking the course made a lot of trouble. There were a lot of inconsistencies.
Kartikay K –
It was a fine course with good lessons.
Fernando C –
good course. But its needed more on Julia.. more content, more chanllenge
NINAD K –
AMAZING INTRODUCTORY COURSE, COVERS MOST OF THE BASICS OF SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING.
Niclas F S –
Very good introductory course! However, due to recent developments in the Julia language, some functions used in the Honors Content in Week 4 are deprecated and should be updated.
Shruti K –
Amazing course! I learned a lot during this course. The assignments made me improve my coding skills and the questions were challenging enough. The instructors are engaging and innovative!
Arturo E –
Low quality course in many aspects: videos, updates, code, ideas.
KIPNGENO K –
Thank you so much for this exciting course

A little bit to easy.

Thank you!

good
James S –
Julia is now at V1.3. The course was based on Julia 0.6 and done around the time Julia 1.0 was close to release. The material sorely needs to be updated.
