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.

Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to add JavaScript to our Jupyter Notebook. We saw some of the limitations of using JavaScript in Jupyter. We had a look at examples of several packages that are typical of Node.js coding, including d3 for graphics, stats-analysis for statistics, built-in JSON handling, canvas for creating graphics files, and plotly, which is used for generating graphics with a third-party tool. We also saw how multi-threaded applications can be developed using Node.js under Jupyter. Lastly, we saw machine learning for developing a decision tree.

In the next chapter, we will see how to create interactive widgets that can be used in your Notebook.
