The best way to ensure that you have a solid handle on the core concepts is to read the manual (cue grizzled developer in worn out khakis and "RTFM" t-shirt.)
If you are the 2% that will dutifully read the documentation before embarking on your first adventure, the latest release can be found here: Julia Manual.
If however, you are in the 98% of people that throw caution to the wind, then try this excellent site: Learn julia in Y Minutes.
That should get you comfortable with the julia repl in a short time frame.
Once you get going, the manual is great for clarifying behavior or finding ways to accomplish your goals.
I also recommend checking out DataFrames. For those that have experience with R, you are most likely familiar with the concept. However, I'd suspect that this is new to many developers coming from java or c#. Don't want to read the book? Then grab some popcorn and watch the movie.
For those inquisitive souls that really want to know how things work under the hood, the source code should be available in your home directory: ~/.julia/PackageName/src
[substitute the desired package name e.g. DataFrames]
