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.

JavaScript limitations in Jupyter


JavaScript was originally used to specifically address the need for scripting inside of an HTML page, usually on the client-side (in a browser). As such, it was built to be able to manipulate HTML elements on the page. Several packages have been developed to further this feature, even for creating a web server, especially using extensions such as Node.js.

The use of any of the HTML manipulation and generation features inside of Jupyter runs into a roadblock, since Jupyter expects to control presentation to the user.
