* Required Fields

As machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms grow more sophisticated, the need for a high-performance development environment grows greater and greater. Julia is a programming language designed to feel like a comfortable scripting environment, like Python, but able to deliver the high performance of fully compiled languages like C and Fortran. In this course we introduce the fundamentals of coding in Julia, always with an eye towards programming techniques currently finding application in cutting-edge machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Attendees must have programming experience.

Attendees will have the opportunity to take the Learning Tree exam upon completion.

Course FAQs

This course introduces Julia but assumes the student has experience with some programming language such as Python, C#, or Java.

This course explores some of the more technical aspects of neural networks and is probably not suitable for managers and non-technical students.

Yes! This course is designed for developers, and programmers, who wish to delve deeper into neural networks and AI.

Not likely. Developers wishing only to apply existing neural network architectures might be better served by a course in PyTorch or TensorFlow.
