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.

For these examples, if we take a notebook from a previous chapter, the Jupyter Notebook looks like this:

The notebook format (IPYNB) is the native format for your notebook. We have looked into this IPYNB file in earlier chapters to see what Jupyter is storing for your notebook.

You would use the notebook format if you wanted to give another user complete access to your notebook since they would run your notebook from their system.

You may also want to do this to save your notebook...
