Ending time: noon
Place: B0.002, MPI for Biogeochemistry, Jena
Instructor: Fabian Gans, Nora Linscheid, Felix Cremer, Lazaro Alonso Silva
Category: Skill course
Credit points: 0.2 CP per course day
The course gives an introduction to the relatively young Julia programming language. The core goal of the language is to combine the expressiveness dynamism of languages like R, Python and matlab with the speed of Fortran or C.
The course is targeted at people with some programming experience in another programming language who are interested to dive into an adventure and explore different ways to get your research done. The course will focus on explaining the differences between Julia and other common scientific programming languages and how this enables new ways to implement common methods in data analysis and modelling. Emphasis will be laid on how to write well-structured and performant code in Julia. Day 1 of the course will focus on introducing the language, while day 2 and 3 will be in a workshop-format to get an introduction to the package ecosystem and to try the newly learned concepts hands-on.
