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.

Apache Spark


One of the tools we will be using is Apache Spark. Spark is an open source toolset for cluster computing. While we will not be using a cluster, typical usage for Spark is a larger set of machines or clusters that operate in parallel to analyze a big dataset. Installation instructions are available at https://www.dataquest.io/blog/pyspark-installation-guide.

Installing Spark on macOS

Up-to-date instructions for installing Spark are available at https://medium.freecodecamp.org/installing-scala-and-apache-spark-on-mac-os-837ae57d283f. The main steps are:

  1.  Get Homebrew from http://brew.sh. If you are doing software development on macOS, you will likely already have Homebrew.
  2. Install xcode-select: xcode-selectis used for different languages. For Spark we use Java, Scala and, of course, Spark as follows:
xcode-select -install

Again, it is likely that you will already have this for other software development tasks.

  1.  Use Homebrew to install Java:
brew cask install java
  1. Use Homebrew to install...
