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.

Note

Note: Since we are working with a Scala Notebook, that is the language choice provided on the second choice. If we had a Notebook in another language, that other language would be the choice.

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

 

Notebook format

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

You would use the Notebook format if you wanted to give...
