Overview of this book

Jupyter Notebook is a web-based environment that enables interactive computing in notebook documents. It allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and explanatory text. The Jupyter Notebook system is extensively used in domains such as data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, machine learning, and much more. This book starts with a detailed overview of the Jupyter Notebook system and its installation in different environments. Next we’ll help you will learn to integrate Jupyter system with different programming languages such as R, Python, JavaScript, and Julia and explore the various versions and packages that are compatible with the Notebook system. Moving ahead, you master interactive widgets, namespaces, and working with Jupyter in a multiuser mode. Towards the end, you will use Jupyter with a big data set and will apply all the functionalities learned throughout the book.

Preface

Notebook workflow


The typical workflow is as follows:

  • Create a new notebook for a project or data analysis.

  • Add your analysis steps, coding, and output.

  • Surround your analysis with organizational and presentation markdown to communicate an entire story.

  • Interactive notebooks (that include widgets and display modules) would then be used by others by modifying parameters and data to note the effects of their changes. Your markdown would present the cases that a user may want to investigate and probable results.
