Not Julia related per se, but a lot people in this community make use of and contribute to Differentiable Programming, here is a freely available book on the topic: [[2403.14606] The Elements of Differentiable Programming](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.14606)

I haven’t read it yet, but seems to be a great reference.

I know one of the authors (Blondel) and indeed it must be great!
