Learn to Program: Julia at NCI Online

NCIhttps://opus.nci.org.au/display/Help/NCI+Training+and+Educational+EventsThe National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is Australia's leading high-performance data, storage and computing organisation, providing expert services to benefit all domains of science, government and industry. NCI aims to deliver to the Australian research sector the computational capability and enhanced services it needs to achieve transformational outcomes benefiting Australia's industry, environment, research sector, public policy formulation and Australian society more broadly.Intersecthttps://intersect.org.au/trainingIntersect is a pivotal part of Australian research landscape. We provide robust, innovative services and collaborative technology to support world-class research at our member organisations and in the wider research community.Intersect delivers data storage, compute and analysis platforms, custom engineering, expert consulting and training programs to thousands of researchers every year.Intersect works closely with the ARDC (Australian Research Data Commons) built from ANDS, Nectar, and RDS. Intersect is also a member of the Software Carpentry Foundation, the NCI (National Computational Infrastructure) and the AAF (Australian Access Federation).

Julia allows you to range from tight low-level loops and conditionals, up to a high-level programming style, with its performance approaching and often matching the performance of the fastest programming languages!</p><p>This workshop expects that you are coming to Julia with some experience in the basic concepts of programming in another language. It is designed to help you migrate the basic concepts of programming that you already know to the Julia context.</p><p>Join us for this live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using Jupyter notebooks, which allow program code, results, visualisations and documentation to be blended seamlessly.</p><p></p><h3>You’ll learn:</h3><ul><li>Introduction to the JupyterLab interface for programming</li><li>Basic syntax and data types in Julia</li><li>How to load external data into Julia</li><li>Creating functions (FUNCTIONS)</li><li>Repeating actions and analysing multiple data sets (LOOPS)</li><li>Making choices (IF STATEMENTS – CONDITIONALS)</li><li>Ways to visualise data using the Plots library in Julia</li></ul><p></p><h3>Prerequisites</h3><p><strong>Some experience with the basic concepts of programming in another language </strong>is<strong> </strong>needed to attend this course.
