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.

about the author

Bogumił Kamiński is one of the lead developers of DataFrames.jl—the core package for data manipulation in the Julia ecosystem. He has over 20 years of experience delivering data science projects.

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!

From the Foreword by Viral Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Julia Computing

A brilliant guide to data analysis with Julia.

Kevin Cheung, Carleton University

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

Maureen Metzger, Kumanu

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