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.

Summary


In this chapter, we added the ability to use Julia scripts in your Jupyter Notebook. We added a Julia library not included in the standard Julia installation. We saw basic features of Julia in use. We outlined some of the limitations encountered using Julia in Jupyter. We displayed graphics using some of the graphics packages available, including Gadfly, Winston, Vega, and PyPlot. We saw parallel processing in action. We saw a small control flow example, and lastly, we saw how to add unit testing to your Julia script.

In the next chapter, we will learn all about using JavaScript in a Jupyter Notebook.
