Look inside
Master core data analysis skills using Julia. Interesting hands-on projects guide you through time series data, predictive models, popularity ranking, and more.

In Julia for Data Analysis you will learn how to:

  • Read and write data in various formats
  • Work with tabular data, including subsetting, grouping, and transforming
  • Visualize your data
  • Build predictive models
  • Create data processing pipelines
  • Create web services sharing results of data analysis
  • Write readable and efficient Julia programs

Julia was designed for the unique needs of data scientists: it's expressive and easy-to-use whilst also delivering super-fast code execution. Julia for Data Analysis shows you how to take full advantage of this amazing language to read, write, transform, analyze, and visualize data—everything you need for an effective data pipeline. It’s written by Bogumił Kamiński, one of the top contributors to Julia, #1 Julia answerer on StackOverflow, and a lead developer of Julia’s core data package DataFrames.jl. Its engaging hands-on projects get you into the action quickly. Plus, you’ll even be able to turn your new Julia skills to general purpose programming!

about the technology

Julia is a great language for data analysis. It’s easy to learn, fast, and it works well for everything from one-off calculations to full-on data processing pipelines. Whether you’re looking for a better way to crunch everyday business data or you’re just starting your data science journey, learning Julia will give you a valuable skill.

about the book

Julia for Data Analysis teaches you how to handle core data analysis tasks with the Julia programming language. You’ll start by reviewing language fundamentals as you practice techniques for data transformation, visualizations, and more. Then, you’ll master essential data analysis skills through engaging examples like examining currency exchange, interpreting time series data, and even exploring chess puzzles. Along the way, you’ll learn to easily transfer existing data pipelines to Julia.

A Good Job of Covering Data Science with Julia!!
April 3, 2023 by Matthew L. (KY, US)
“I have not tried every piece of code in this book. I am presently learning Julia with the idea of potentially using it to teach a Computational Thinking class in spring 2024. This book is my supplemental material/examples if I do choose to go with Julia for that class. Regardless, I like what I see in this book and will eventually be using it for a personal project I have in mind.”

Have dealt with them before.

Have the MEAP of the intro to Julia and thought this would be a nice followup.
