Looking for books for Julia, I need one that takes my by the hand and leads me into the Julia REPL and then VScode environment. Also a book that gives the syntax for all (or most?) of the Julia primitives. Found one but it was nearly $50!!! Ain’t got that kind of budget. If I got it, I couldn’t…

I haven’t seen any particular book discussing Julia integration on VScode, but there are good introduction videos from last year’s JuliaCon, which you can find on youtube. Also, if you are not willing to pay in advance, check out the books on libgen and buy a hard copy afterwards, which you find pre…

Manual? There is a manual??? Is it in book form, or downloadable into a kindle?

https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/ Don’t know about Kindle but there’s a pdf here: julia-1.7.2.pdf 4.74 MB

There IS a manual! Happy Days!!! Now, if I can just figure out how to get it onto the tablet… (far too many pages to print out locally.) Thank you immensely, nilshg!

Here are a few video tutorials that might be of interest: [The Julia REPL basics (install packages, help, autocompletion...) -Learn Julia 3/n-] [Setting Up VS Code for Julia | Talk Julia #11] [Setting up your Julia / VS Code environment] [[02x01] Juli…

nott sure if this is the only place to get it, but the EPub version of the Julia manual is here: https://github.com/laborg/DocumenterEpubExample

Already have “Hands-On…” in Kindle format on the tablet. It’s, um, slow going? Haven’t gotten to the meat yet but it seems to be mostly about design and not syntax or semantics. Maybe that’s in the next chapter. :slight_smile:

https://sylvaticus.github.io/SPMLJ/stable/ [Disclaimer, I’m the author] If you don’t matter a (free) multi-channel mooc… it is github-based with all pages being actual working Julia files (i.e. clone the repo and make your hands dirty by running the code directly on yr PC), you can just “read” the …

As you can see, the book is not the typical format for learning Julia :slight_smile: However I have gathered several resources (including book links) here: https://gdalle.github.io/IntroJulia/

If it goes slow, that only suggests that you have yet to experience the pains of programming :nerd_face:. It may be better to read the manual and introductory sections from other Julia books.
