Learn Julia with Us: Functions

Looking to get started with Julia but don't know where to begin? Learn Julia with us, from the ground up. Together, we'll go through some of the best materials for learning Julia, starting from the basics. Those with no coding experience, users of other programming languages, and those from non-traditional backgrounds are all very welcome to join!

In this workshop, we'll tell you what you need to know about functions - both in-built functions such as string() and join() as well as user-defined functions that you can use to organise your code. We'll discuss inline functions, what Julia considers acceptable function names, and take a look at debugging and checking functions.

Your instructors are two PhD students in linguistics with a background in R and Python. Julia & Kyla also organize R-Ladies Freiburg and teach statistics, so they are especially excited to welcome those who use R for data science, those who come from non-STEM backgrounds, and anyone who wants a judgement-free, encouraging approach to learning programming. The workshop will take place via Zoom and we hope it works for your time zone!

Note: At this time, the workshops are open to anyone who sees their gender as underrepresented in the Julia community. Others are welcome to watch the videos when they are posted to Youtube, which we will link here, and to share the workshops with those who may be interested!
