Title: Create a Books section under the "learning" header for the Julia website

Within some weeks the Pragmatic Programmers will publish the book: "Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks"
by Bruce Tate, Fred Daoud, Jack Moffitt, Ian Dees: https://pragprog.com/book/7lang/seven-more-languages-in-seven-weeks

It contains a tutorial Chapter for programmers new to Julia, which is really very good, with nice examples, exercises and so on.

I think it is a great introduction to people wanting to learn more about Julia in a few reading sessions and
that it is worthwhile to mention it on the Julia website, probably under the "learning" heading, in a new section Books.

This idea was approved in the mailing list on 23/10/2014 by John Myles White and Stefan Karpinski.
