Overview of this book

Jupyter has garnered a strong interest in the data science community of late, as it makes common data processing and analysis tasks much simpler. This book is for data science professionals who want to master various tasks related to Jupyter to create efficient, easy-to-share, scientific applications. The book starts with recipes on installing and running the Jupyter Notebook system on various platforms and configuring the various packages that can be used with it. You will then see how you can implement different programming languages and frameworks, such as Python, R, Julia, JavaScript, Scala, and Spark on your Jupyter Notebook. This book contains intuitive recipes on building interactive widgets to manipulate and visualize data in real time, sharing your code, creating a multi-user environment, and organizing your notebook. You will then get hands-on experience with Jupyter Labs, microservices, and deploying them on the web. By the end of this book, you will have taken your knowledge of Jupyter to the next level to perform all key tasks associated with it.

Running your Notebook in Google Cloud Platform


Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a suite of cloud computing services offered by Google. As part of those services, we can run a Jupyter Notebook.

GCP is offered as a subscription and time-usage billing. That means you pay a certain amount per month and you pay for how much you use per month. I think their fees are at par with other hosting arrangements. They have a free trial period that you can try out. Remember to shut down/off any services you start; otherwise the clock will keep ticking and you will get billed.

Getting ready

There are several steps to getting Jupyter installed and running on GCP. Many of these steps are performed using a Linux shell window.

Note

For any of these steps, if you can not locate the item, navigate back to the dashboard (click on the Google Cloud Platform button in the upper left corner); at the top center is a search form where you can search for the particular feature.
