Need a very good introductory publication on “Julia" with illustrations, similar to the book “Illustrating C (revised edition ansi iso version)” by Donald Alcock (1992) or “Illustrating Pascal” by Donald Alcock (1987).
A book/document would be very helpful for non-computer geeks (e.g. engineers, physicians, economists and others) to acquire “Julia” for their computing tasks/projects.
Suggest, having a set of items in the survey that are useful for newbies and non-computer geeks wanting to learn “Julia".
`I believe if the documentation had more and very clear or explained use case example it would be enough in the base case.
[Often I find myself understanding the ?help but with no clue as to how to use it. It’s a bit the case with the R docs where documentation goes far in the math details and assumes implementation is a given, but there at least the “vignettes” help.]
A book would be nice. Still there is the GitHub - VMLS-book/VMLS.jl book and others. Also there’s a LOT of IJulia Jupyter notebooks --which IMOO I like for “live” demos but are usually not meant or intended for after-the-fact use.
