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.

Chapter 5. Jupyter Java Coding

Java is a high-level programming language that was originally developed by Sun Microsystems, and is currently owned by Oracle. Java is a cross-platform, compiled language that can be executed on a variety of platforms. Java is cross-platform since it generates p-code, which is interpreted by a resident-specific version of Java, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Java is distributed by using a Java Runtime Executable(JRE) for those that only need to execute programs that are written. Otherwise, there's a Java Development Kit (JDK) for those developing Java applications.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Adding the Java kernel to Jupyter
  • Java Hello World Jupyter Notebook
  • Basic Java in Jupyter

Note

Major caveat is this does not work on a Windows environment. A Java Notebook will not start on Windows.
