A recent book by LWN guest
author Lee Phillips provides a nice introduction to the Julia programming language.
Practical Julia
does more than that, however. As its subtitle (“A Hands-On Introduction
for Scientific Minds”) implies, the book focuses on bringing Julia to
scientists, rather than programmers, which gives it something of a
different feel from most other books of this sort.
