I'm not sure it'll have *that* impact but thanks anyway! The latest version also shows the Julia version it applies to. That should at least help.

It will probably double the rate of new Julia adopters! This should go to the website. Great job and idea. Em segunda-feira, 17 de agosto de 2015 14:07:02 UTC-3, Ian Hellström escreveu: Hi everyone, I just created a cheat page for Julia: http://tinyurl.com/JuliaLang. It's full of

Update: I renamed the page to The Fast Track to Julia so as not to offend anyone. There were some people who questioned the double entendre, so I thought it best to remove it completely. On Sunday, 23 August 2015 14:39:43 UTC+2, Ian Hellström wrote: I'm not sure it'll have *that* impact but

Is Juno only an editor (I should try, but I haven't..) as you say. They say, environment. Should you say IDE? If/when Julia adoption doubles, wee never know - maybe the cheat sheet helped a lot..:) To me Julia is good enough (an understatement) and people just have to know about it and have the

I'm glad you like it. Yes, right now everything is for 0.3. On Bitbucket I have already prepared 0.4 but it's not available through the tinyurl link. I might remove the italics on homoiconic. There is no real need for it and it does make the colon almost invisible, I agree. I might add

This is great! I've seen something similar, but not in a cheat sheet form this nice that I would print myself and hang on the wall (missing then hovering over or clicking that is nice) or recommend to do. Everything I can point to, book, free or not, especially for beginners or non-math people

The updated version is now available. The 0.4 version is already done (and on my Bitbucket repo http://bitbucket.org/hell316/dbline/src) but I'll wait with replacing the publicly available http://tinyurl.com/JuliaLang document until Julia 0.4 is officially released.

Well, even a Bactrian camel’s humps are in the middle, not right on top of his bum! The camel case conventions IIRC were really popularized first by Smalltalk, then by Wirth with Pascal and Modula, and also (later) by Microsoft. Another reference:

Thanks for the detailed comments, Steven. I really appreciate it. For now I have changed what was wrong/unclear and valid for 0.3 (locally, not yet online). I’ll prepare a 0.4 version and put that online as soon as 0.4 is officially released. I know that the naming PascalCase vs camelCase vs

I have two suggestions: Change the pale colors to something less pale. I am not critical of your aesthetic, just pragmatic. Generally, printing on white with more saturated, deeper rather than lighter colors is more readable. Also try to avoid pure yellows and pure reds, they are difficult

Thanks for the input. With the tooltips I was not trying to make a printable page. I might make a style sheet for printing though, as a compromise.
