This question really depends on your background. My general recommendation to learn Julia would be to start with a deep study of the "Differences from other languages" section if you have experience in any of the languages listed. Then you should do a fast reading of the manual from the start so that you get an overview of the different parts. Stop reading when you feel you have what you need, and use search to find whatever you need later.
My usual search order (after google fails) is: 1. docs.julialang.org 2. julia-users 3. github.com/JuliaLang/julia 4. julia-devs 5. stackoverflow [julia-lang] kl. 08:52:34 UTC+1 mandag 3. november 2014 skrev [email protected] følgende: > > I have several problems that are mix between Linear Algebra and > Combinatorics and I recently started to use Julia. > > I am wondering what would be the shortest learning path to achieve my > goal: learn how to use Julia with Linear Algebra mixed with Combinatorics. > > Maybe from the Julia manual I need to read only: > 1) Functions (because I need to split the project into manageable parts) > 2) Methods (the same as above) > 3) Modules (the same as above) > 4) Metaprogramming (because I might need it ... ) > 5) Multi-dimensional Arrays (I can use them as vectors right? ...) > 6) Linear algebra (because this is the type of my main problems) > 7) Combinatorics (because I need combinatorics too) > 8) The Standard Library => Parallel Computing (because I need to solve > big problems fast) > 9) Parallel Computing (the same as above) > > If you have some experience, please if you can tell me ... >
