There is a quite nice tutorial - [Julia by Example](https://juliabyexample.helpmanual.io/). But seems it stuck in the past (at 0.6.2 version). And there are [issues](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/JuliaByExample/issues) and [PRs unmerged](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/JuliaByExample/pulls), while the last commit was Mar 24, 2018.

Yes – it certainly appears to be abandoned.

Why not fork and update? Would be a great learning experience 😀

There is [already a PR](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/JuliaByExample/pull/26) for that, not merged yet though.
