Overview of this book

Julia is a new programming language designed for the needs of data scientists, statisticians, scientific computing, and engineers. Usually these disciplines have had to use a variety of of tools and languages: ? Matlab ? Python with Numpy ? R ? C/C++ or Fortran for high performance With Julia you can replace all these tools with one programming language, since it offers both flexibility and speed. Julia is a young language with limited documentation and although rapidly growing, a small user community. Most developers today will know the object oriented paradigm used in mainstream languages such as Python, Java and C++. This presents a challenge switching to Julia which is more functionally oriented. This course will not only introduce the language, but also explain how to think differently about problems with the Julia approach.

Functional Approach
How do we approach design patterns with a functional approach? We'll look at some classic OOP design patterns and implement them by focusing on functions rather than objects. - Make cars with the factory pattern - Implement calculator with the undo functionality using the patterncommand - Switch between different encryption algorithms using the strategy pattern
