Hi Tiffany,

I don't think there is any SWC material on Julia. Investing in books at the
moment is not really worth it since the language is pre-1.0, and changing
rapidly.

The documentation is a really good resource [1]. The forthcoming von Csefalvay
book [2] is supposed to be good. But it's, well, not finished.

The julia-users mailing list is also amazing. If you have experience on
the R mailing list, it's ~ the opposite of that. 

Two remarks:

- We're using julia for 90% of what we do in the lab (R is for
  statistics and python for data scraping), and it is going well. And
  fast.

- What would be the interest of SWC to develop a julia (short) lesson
  / port the Inflammation lesson?
