Julia As Your First Programming Language:
A Book for Scientists

The following are the tools I used for building the Website.

• https://franklinjl.org/: Franklin is a static site generator for Julia, developed by Thibaut Lienart. It allows for a smooth integration between Julia, LaTex, HTML/CSS/JavaScript. It also facilitates typing as you can add apply functions created in Julia for the website creation.

The following are websites on Julia that I've read for the book preparation. The list is not exhaustive, and its main purpose is to thank the authors for their contributions.

• https://bkamins.github.io/: Blog by Bogumił Kamiński. He's probably the person from whom I've learned the most about Julia (and programming in general!). The link is for his blog, but he also has tutorials for the package DataFrames (he's one of the developers) and a book titled "Julia for Data Analysis". He actively answers questions in Discourse and StackOverFlow.

• https://benlauwens.github.io/ThinkJulia.jl/latest/book.html. This is a book about Julia by Ben Lauwens and Allen Downey. It's a very good introduction to Julia, and it's free.

• https://www.matecdev.com/posts/julia-tutorial-science-engineering.html: Julia tutorial by Martin D. Maas. It's also a very good introduction to Julia.

• https://techytok.com/from-zero-to-julia/: Julia tutorial by Aurelio Amerio. It's a very good introduction to Julia.

• https://m3g.github.io/JuliaNotes.jl/stable/: Some notes by Leandro Martínez, an active user in Julia's Discourse. The notes are cleaned versions of discussions and lessons learned from posts in Discourse.

• https://medium.com/@emmaccode/: Blog by Emma Boudreau, with some interesting comparisons between Julia and other languages.

The following are websites about Julia in Economics, which is my area of specialization.

• https://julia.quantecon.org/intro.html: QuantEcon is a website oriented to economic modeling, founded by Thomas Sargent and John Stachursky. It focuses on the use of Julia for Macroeconomics, although it also provides several chapters about Julia basics.

• https://floswald.github.io/NumericalMethods/: Website created by Florian Oswald. He also has several tutorials for R.
