Todd BirchardBlockedUnblockFollowFollowingMar 1It dawned on me the other day that for a publication which regularly uses and talks about Jupyter notebooks, we’ve never actually taken the time to explain what they are or how to start using them. No matter where you may have been in your career, first exposure to Jupyter and the IPython shell is often a confusingly magical experience. Writing programs line-by-line and receiving feedback in real-time feels more like painting oil on canvas and programming. I suppose we can finally chalk up a win for dynamically typed languages.

There are a couple of barriers for practical devs to overcome before using Jupyter, the most obvious being hardware costs. If you’re utilizing a full Anaconda installation, chances are you’re not the type of person to mess around. Real machine learning algorithms take real resources, and real resources take real money. A few vendors have popped up here are offering managed cloud-hosted notebooks for this reason. For those of us who bothered to do the math, it turns out most of these services are more expensive than spinning up a dedicated VPS.
