You may wonder, why use Julia for Data Analysis? This book answers both the ‘why’ and the ‘how.’ I really enjoyed that the examples are real-world data—for instance, a set of chess puzzles with 2 million rows!

A brilliant guide to data analysis with Julia.

One of the best structured and well-written presentations of language fundamentals and analysis concepts that I’ve encountered. I highly recommend this book.

A solid, hands-on, and really enjoyable introduction to Julia.
