[Documentation] [Homepage improvement suggestion] Provide a "one-tutorial-to-rule-them-all" on the homepage at: https://julialang.org/learning/tutorials/ #50920
Ok that's good. But these seem to be external links. This is not so good, for various reasons: different
writing style, length and so forth. It just seems a lazy man's listing of ... links. :D
Would you guys considering an official, updated introduction to Julia, that showcases some things,
in a step-by-step manner? From hello world, to running a commandline script to perhaps more
advanced things, GUI, web-related setting. I am not saying this should be huge, just some teaser
or pointer for people to get started quickly.
I'll go through the external tutorials next, but I usually learn only in "bursts" of, say, 15-20 minutes
and then I have to multi-task something else, so I have a short attention span. This is why a short
official tutorial would be neat - something that can be digested in, say, 20 minutes of being slow
but productive, excluding installing julia (hello world should not take more than, say, 3 minutes
so you'd have 17 more minutes for such a tutorial).
If it is too much work for one person then perhaps a template could be created at the wiki and
filled in slowly by different folks who already know julia. At any rate, please feel free to close
this issue at any moment in time - it is definitely not that important (e. g. compared to bug
reports).
Hey Julia folks,
With our overlord TIOBE recently saying Julia is at place 20, it is time to go through some Julia tutorials for the win.
Now ... people who want to do this, like me ... go to google search and do a dumb "julia tutorial".
First result I got was:

There is also the documentation at:

But this is not a tutorial.
