Overview of this book

Julia is a new programming language that offers a unique combination of performance and productivity. Its powerful features, friendly syntax, and speed are attracting a growing number of adopters from Python, R, and Matlab, effectively raising the bar for modern general and scientific computing. After six years in the making, Julia has reached version 1.0. Now is the perfect time to learn it, due to its large-scale adoption across a wide range of domains, including fintech, biotech, education, and AI. Beginning with an introduction to the language, Julia Programming Projects goes on to illustrate how to analyze the Iris dataset using DataFrames. You will explore functions and the type system, methods, and multiple dispatch while building a web scraper and a web app. Next, you'll delve into machine learning, where you'll build a books recommender system. You will also see how to apply unsupervised machine learning to perform clustering on the San Francisco business database. After metaprogramming, the final chapters will discuss dates and time, time series analysis, visualization, and forecasting. We'll close with package development, documenting, testing and benchmarking. By the end of the book, you will have gained the practical knowledge to build real-world applications in Julia.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The difficulty levels are already defined in the Gameplay module, so don't forget to declare that we're using Gameplay."

A block of code is set as follows:

function articleinfo(content) 
  dom = articledom(content) 
  (extractcontent(dom.root), extractlinks(dom.root), extracttitle(dom.root), extractimage(dom.root)) 
end 

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

@from i in df begin 
    @where i.Parking_Tax == true 
    @select i 
    @collect DataFrame 
end 

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

pkg> add [email protected] 
pkg> add [email protected]

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "But versicolor and virginica? Not so much."
