Julia concepts we want to learn

[suvayu]

Can we collect all the Julia concepts we want to learn in one single thread? Then it might be easier for @abelsiqueira to cover them in the 1 hr learning discussion that we were pondering last week. We can populate this list as we encounter them

My wish list:

• error handling & propagation
• reflection (inspecting the current Julia session)
  • it would be nice to have this in the toolbox because JuMP introduces many new symbols in the current session. This will help us discover them and learn faster; e.g. by accident I learnt there are names available to check termination status: OPTIMAL & INFEASIBLE. Knowing this helps in writing code with good error handling.
• overview of any functional programming API Julia might have, stuff like map, filter, first, etc - great for working with arrays and matrices

Ooh nice! If we still want this, I would be interested in data structures, their differences, how data accessed (although I think @abelsiqueira has done a good job of documenting the stuff we're using).

Is this still something we want? If so maybe we can spend a half-day on it soon.

Let's close this discussion for now and double-check when new members join the team what extra topics are of interest.
