1. Learn the basics of syntax quickly in 10 minutes
<https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/julia/>.
2. Depending on your reason for learning Julia, one of:
a) Translate an existing script into Julia. Translating Python scripts
is particularly instructive because the syntax is similar.
b) Write a new (simple) script that does something you need for
work/study.
c) Look at the source of a package
d) Follow a tutorial for say Python or R, but using only Julia
3. Refine the output of 2. in terms of memory usage, performance, etc by
consulting this user group, the manual, etc.
