Learning Jupyter 5 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

The Jupyter Notebook 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, and machine learning. Learning Jupyter 5 will help you get to grips with interactive computing using real-world examples. The book starts with a detailed overview of the Jupyter Notebook system and its installation in different environments. Next, you will learn to integrate the Jupyter system with different programming languages such as R, Python, Java, JavaScript, and Julia, and explore various versions and packages that are compatible with the Notebook system. Moving ahead, you will master interactive widgets and namespaces and work with Jupyter in a multi-user mode. By the end of this book, you will have used Jupyter with a big dataset and be able to apply all the functionalities you’ve explored throughout the book. You will also have learned all about the Jupyter Notebook and be able to start performing data transformation, numerical simulation, and data visualization.

Chapter 4. Jupyter Julia Scripting

Julia is a language that was specifically designed to be used for high-performance, numerical computing. Most importantly, it differs from the previous scripting languages that have been covered in this book (R and to a certain extent, Python) in that Julia is a full language  and not limited to data handling.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  •  Adding Julia scripting to your installation
  •  Basic Julia in Jupyter
  •  Julia limitations in Jupyter
  •  Standard Julia capabilities
  •  Julia visualizations in Jupyter
  •  Julia Vega plotting
  •  Julia parallel processing
  •  Julia control flow
  •  Julia regular expressions
  •  Julia unit testing
