dear julia experts---I am about to start teaching my MFE class. Mostly, my students will do programming with data. My transitioning plan is as follows: This year, I am planning to allow using julia. (R is the standard.) Next year, I am planning to encourage julia equally with R. In 2 years, I am planning to switch over to julia (0.5?). I am expecting rough edges esp on the debugging side. I plan to recommend a lot of print-and-recompile statements.
Now, my students already have backgrounds in different computer languages, which could be anything from VBE to python to R to Matlab to whatever. I know I can point them to the pretty good docs on the julia website. * if there are teaching/learning resources for new students above and beyond the standard julia docs on the web that you would recommend, could you please let me know? * if there are language migration guides that you would recommend, could you please let me know? * if there are quick-reference guides that you would recommend, could you please let me know? (I also suggested having the help system inside julia help with transitioning R by "?R.lm", but way too recently to make it in-time. And ?python.xxx. and ?matlab.xxx.) regards, /iaw
