From R to Julia - Adventures in Code Conversion

Venue Size: 30 people approx

Notice: We do not use waiting lists for our meetups. Instead, we use a sign up list, and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not expect to have to turn people away, and hopefully we never will, but it will be a possibility so please arrive in good time to make sure you get a place.

Room B009 - In Basement of main building (same place as the Dublin R talk on Beyond Linear Regression)

A few months ago I hosted a workshop for Dublin R on the topic of Linear Dynamical Systems.

The workshop material was based on a Stanford course that originally used Matlab but I instead used R code.

The course has since switched to using Julia, so it was an excellent opportunity to rewrite everything in Julia and learn the language.

This talk will focus on my struggles to translate everything, and hopefully give some pointers for others hoping to learn Julia.
