Jupyter Notebooks

This week's episode is just in time for JupyterCon in NYC, August 22-25... Jupyter notebooks are probably familiar to a lot of data nerds out there as a great open-source tool for exploring data, doing quick visualizations, and packaging code snippets with explanations for sharing your work with others. If you're not a data person, or you are but you haven't tried out Jupyter notebooks yet, here's your nudge to go give them a try. In this episode we'll go back to the old days, before notebooks, and talk about all the ways that data scientists like to work that wasn't particularly well-suited to the command line + text editor setup, and talk about how notebooks have evolved over their lifetime to become even more powerful and well-suited to the data scientist's workflow.
