Hello,

I’m very new to the Julia programming language but I do have considerable experience using R and Python.

Are there any book recommendations for using Julia, please?

Much appreciated.

I like [Think Julia](https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html), which is available as a free ebook or purchase. Just be aware of the Julia version used in the book as the language has evolved a bit since v1.0 (but hopefully no major or breaking changes in what the books teach).

Not a book, but this could help your to switch from R/python to Julia:
