It includes the core language features and a few packages I use most:

**Language core**

I am currently using GitBook, but as the “new” GitBook is not really the optimal solution, if someone has suggestions how to publish a git- and markdown-based tutorial is welcome…

Optionally Literate.jl to generate the `.md` files for marked up `.jl`, then Documenter.jl directly to HTML or via `mkdocs` to other formats?

I read several doc, some common doubts among them:

in section “data type”, why there is usually no "variable declaration " part?  
in Section “control flow”, why there is no “expression, compound sentence”?

so after finish reading a book, there is still no idea how to organize a program.

Brs,
