Julia Tutorial for beginners

Julia is a dynamic programming language (It is optionally typed language, Specifying the type is optional, user choice), used for scientific and numeric computing. Julia is available on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. Much of the Julia is written in Julia itself. Just like python, Julia is easy to learn. Statically Vs Dynamically typed Programming languages explain the differences between static and dynamically typed programming languages

Why Julia?
a.   Julia is open source
b.   Available on all platforms like Mac, Linux and Windows
c.    You can call C, Python, Fortran libraries seamlessly.
d.   Dynamically typed language, support custom types.
e.   Supports Meta programming.
f.     Provides Unicode support
