This in-depth course will be an introduction to the Julia programming language. 
Julia is a relatively new programming language designed for technical computing. It is designed to be simple and expressive, but perform at speeds comparable to C. It has a substantial package library and an elegant foreign function interface, with which one can easily call C, R, and Python.
This workshop will be by taught by Jeff Bezanson, co-creator of Julia, and will introduce the language, going from basics through data handling and parallelism. The workshop includes four hours of instruction and a one-hour lunch break.
This course is open to Fred Hutch faculty, staff, and affiliates (i.e., anyone with a Fred Hutch ID). Attendees must bring a laptop to the class.
Registration is limited to 30 participants. If the class is full, there will be an option to add yourself to the waiting list — please do so if you're still interested! We'll use the waiting list in case of cancellations and to plan future sessions.
Please register using your Fred Hutch (or affiliate) email address so that we may verify your eligibility for the course.
