Join the Statistics Department for the Julia Workshop for Statistics Research, Thursdays 12-1pm in MSC 1210, September 19 – October 24. The goal for this six-week workshop is to highlight the main features that make Julia an attractive option for data science programmers. The workshop is intended for statistics/data science students with experience in R and/or Python who are interested in learning about Julia. No knowledge of Julia is required.
The workshop will be led by Doug Bates and Claudia Solis-Lemus. Topics will include examples of Julia projects by Statistics faculty, modern Julia workflows, tidier, positron, quarto, and more.
Refreshments during the workshops will be provided by the UW-Madison Open Source Program Office (OSPO). Join the first workshop session for an introduction to the OSPO and how it can support open source projects on campus.
Workshop materials are available in the github repository julia-bootcamp.
