Episode 2: Jumping Into Julia From Another Programming Language
Description
Are you you thinking about learning the Julia programming language and you're already fluent in another language, such as R, Python, or MATLAB? In this week's episode, we explore tips, ticks, and resources to help you get up to speed with the Julia language as quickly as possible.

For some time now I was thinning to jump into Julia as you say, and I guess I've been returning to this idea at least for several times in past months. One thing, however, which makes me hesitant is rooted in my slow understanding of programming principles. For example, it took me twice the time compared to other students in the group to learn the basics of MATLAB. While I'm still not sure if I know it, as often sought MATLAB homework help online at https://assignmentcore.com/matlab-homework/. THey're indeed a great service with plenty of professional developers doing all they can to assist college students whenever the latter need to. But the opposite side is that I have lost grip in finding programming solutions without consulting someone else. Now want to start learning Julia, but still hesitate if my knowledge would be sufficient to initiate the learning process on my own.
