An in-depth exploration of Julia's growing ecosystem of packages by building 4 exciting projects
Work with the most powerful open-source libraries for machine learning, data wrangling, and data visualization.
Learn to perform supervised learning, unsupervised learning as well as time series analysis with Julia.

Book Description

Julia is a young programming language that offers a unique combination of performance and productivity that promises to change scientific computing and programming. It also puts performance center stage, achieving C-like execution speed and excellent applications in multi-core, GPU, and cloud computing. After six years in development as an Open Source project, Julia is now ready to take the stage with the release of v1.0. Follow through "Julia v1.0 By Example" for an encompassing exploration of the language by means of progressively engaging examples.

Build practical knowledge and use Julia and its most popular packages to address data science problems and handle generic programming tasks. Beginning with an introduction to the language and its syntax, the book will go on to building the first project where you will learn to analyze and manipulate the Iris dataset using Julia. Then we will explore functions and Julia's type system to build a complex web scraping project. Further, you'll dive into more advanced stuff like supervised machine learning where you'll build a recommender system for a dating website. For the final project, you will go deeper, learning about unsupervised learning, time series, statistics functions as well as visualization with Gadfly and Vega. By the end of the book, you would have gained the practical knowledge, enough to help you build statistical models and projects in Julia.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
