I'm not sure it'll have *that* impact but thanks anyway! The latest version 
also shows the Julia version it applies to. That should at least help.

Update: I renamed the page to The Fast Track to Julia so as not to offend 
anyone. There were some people who questioned the double entendre, so I 
thought it best to remove it completely.

I'm glad you like it.

Yes, right now everything is for 0.3. On Bitbucket I have already prepared 
0.4 but it's not available through the tinyurl link.

I might remove the italics on homoiconic. There is no real need for it and 
it does make the colon almost invisible, I agree.

I might add something about Juno or Forio. Help on finding an IDE might be 
helpful to people who are starting out. Thanks for the idea.

I'm not sure Compat.jl is something people want to see in a cheat sheet. I 
might add it in one of the tooltips. I'll have to think about it.

Thanks again!

 people is welcome as I'm an advocate trying to convert people..

 I'm a little new to Tasks a.k.a. coroutines, but it seems your section 
 is on the basic stuff, that is 0.3 (and in general?) To start with, you do 
 not need have 0.4 specific stuff (do you already, I'm still scanning..). If 
 0.4 is out soon and people switch fast it's not a problem or highlighting 
 incompatibilities might be in order.

 Juno is not Julia, probably not the right place to advertise it.. 
 Compat.jl might be however in footnotes.


 P.S. Julia is homoiconic: programs.. looks like a typo in my font, but 
 isn't (the colon is invisible..) You might want to start with capital P 
 anyway but I'm not sure about adding a space *before* the colon (isn't that 
 bad form?).

 Thanks,

The updated version is now available. 

The 0.4 version is already done (and on my Bitbucket repo 
http://bitbucket.org/hell316/dbline/src) but I'll wait with replacing the 
publicly 
available http://tinyurl.com/JuliaLang document until Julia 0.4 is 
officially released.

Thanks for the detailed comments, Steven. I really appreciate it.

For now I have changed what was wrong/unclear and valid for 0.3 (locally, not 
yet online). I’ll prepare a 0.4 version and put that online as soon as 0.4 is 
officially released.

I know that the naming PascalCase vs camelCase vs init-cap CamelCase is almost 
up to each dev. Microsoft seems to be most pedantic about PascalCase vs 
camelCase: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x2dbyw72(v=vs.71).aspx. I 
don’t mind changing it. The official documentation calls it camel case, so I’ll 
go with that to make it more consistent.

What’s the reason you say “You can override Base.show(io, ex) rather than 
Base.showerror”? The doc seems to go with the latter and I also think it 
matches the intent (exception - showerror): 
http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/control-flow/. Is there an 
advantage to overriding Base.show instead of Base.showerror?

It says installed not install, so I believe it's correct. I may write list 
installed... if that helps.

Thanks for the input. With the tooltips I was not trying to make a printable 
page. I might make a style sheet for printing though, as a compromise.

Would it be possible/feasible to introduce external data frames (like in 
Revolution Analytics R), so that we can work with data that does not fit into 
memory? Just an idea...
