Are you a budding data scientist curious about new programming languages? Do you wish you could speed up your R or Python programs without coding in C/C++? Have you heard of Julia but don't know how to get started?
The Biostatistics Division of the Department of Preventive Medicine and the TN-CTSI at UTHSC will be hosting a 2-hour introduction/tutorial session on the Julia programming language.
Julia is a new interactive open-source programming language that combines the functionality of quantitative environments such as R and Python with the speed of production programming languages like Java and C/C++ to solve big data and analytics problems.
The tutorial will introduce Julia to attendees. After installing Julia on your laptop (all operating systems are welcome!) we will give live demos of what Julia can do and what it is good for.
Users of all ability levels are welcome. Don't forget to bring your laptop! Refreshments will be served.
