For anyone in the Chicago area, Leah Hanson is giving a free Julia workshop next weekend (11/15):

Should be a great way to get introduced to the language and pose your nagging questions to a community expert.

Her blog is also a great resource to pick up some of the more useful parts of the language.

Not to mention her forthcoming O'Reilly book, "Learning Julia"!
