Join us for coffee and donuts at the UCLA Watch Party, celebrating UC Love Data Week with a special workshop on Julia Basics.
Speakers:
- Nick Ulle, UC Davis
- Derek Devnich, UC Merced
- Carl Stahmer, UC Davis
- Ezra Morrison, UC Davis
This workshop is designed for individuals already acquainted with R, Python, or MATLAB, offering an introduction to the Julia programming language. Julia stands out for its exceptional speed—often performing orders of magnitude faster than the aforementioned languages—while maintaining a comparable level of abstraction. This allows researchers to concentrate on their scientific inquiries without getting bogged down in the intricacies of hardware.
Key features of Julia include native Unicode support, a user-friendly package manager, multithreading capabilities, a versatile macro system, and an advanced type system that enhances code optimization and bug prevention.
