We have a meetup next week in Zurich, where I give a talk and hands-on intro to Julia:
(make sure you read the instructions before coming)
I suspect this might be less interesting to people on this forum as most are Julia users already. But if you are new-ish, there will be some interesting bits.
PS: it looks like this will be our most popular meetup to date with already 9 people signed up. Record thus far was six, I believe.
Maybe of (local) interest: we have offered Julia courses at unisg.ch since 2016. Around 25 students each autumn taking a 12x2 hour class.
Nice notebooks (very elegant C integration example 
)
Good luck
Yes, they are well made, by JuliaComputing. There are youtube tutorials in which @xorJane walks through them.
I had no idea (you should do a PR against Sign in to GitHub · GitHub). Well, none seem to make it across to our meetups in Zurich. If one of your students ends up doing a cool Julia project, maybe you can encourage them to get in touch with me to present it at the meetup.
