Hi. I know limited amounts of programming. At this point I am specifically interested in financial modeling, machine learning, and predictive capabilities of Julia. Can someone please recommend a study path, whether it be YouTube videos or books to read? I know there are a bunch of materials suited for beginners, however I was wondering it there were any that were optimized or more suited for my goal.

I really can’t thank you all enough. All the best.

A few online tutorials:

1. [Chapter 9 Optimal pricing | Data Science in Julia for Hackers](https://datasciencejuliahackers.com/optimal-pricing.html#maximizing-profit)

2. [Quantitative Economics with Julia — Quantitative Economics with Julia](https://julia.quantecon.org/intro.html) (basically for economics but related to finance too I believe)

Hands-On Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia [www.packt.com](http://www.packt.com) using examples from the finance field and seems to be a recommended book.

For getting started with programming in general, I recommend Think Julia, available for free here:

For fundamentals in Julia and some initial machine learning applications, [this YouTube](https://youtube.com/c/juliafortalentedamateurs) channel is top notch. His tutorials got me hooked on Julia!
