 ## Learning Julia
 
-[The learning page](http://julialang.org/learning/) has a great list of resources for new and experienced users alike. [This tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWkgEddb4-A) is one recommended starting point, as is the "[Invitation to Julia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ1y5NUD_RI)" workshop video from JuliaCon 2015  ([slide materials here](https://github.com/dpsanders/invitation_to_julia)). The [Julia documentation](http://docs.Julialang.org/en/release-0.5/) covers the language and core library features, and is [searchable](http://docs.Julialang.org/en/release-0.5/search/). (note: Javascript required).
