Why Julia?

This is a "why Julia" presentation. It's mainly meant as a teaser for people without any Computer Science background (you might find some of the terminology overly simplistic). I used it to explain to a group of economics PhD students why I use Julia. Some of the reasoning behind the details of the original talk for non-systems biologists can be found in this Discourse topic.

How to use

First, you need to install Node.js. Here you find some instructions. Then, I used reveal-md. So you can download the presentation.md and run

reveal-md -w presentation.md

to see it locally on your browser. Or you can

reveal-md presentation.md --static folder2static

to generate a foldeer with all the needed files to host a static site of the presnetation. I hosted my presentation here on github. Google for answers on how to host a static website on github (e.g. this), it's easier than you think.

Acknowledgements

This presentation is based on the one uploaded by Yakir Luc Gagnon.
