What is Jupyter Notebook?

Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows users to create and share documents containing live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, and machine learning. It supports over 40 programming languages, and notebooks can be shared with others using email, Dropbox, GitHub and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer. It is used with JupyterLab, a web-based IDE for Jupyter notebooks, code, and data, with a configurable user interface that supports a wide range of workflows in data science, scientific computing, and machine learning.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We usually write python code in it as its interface is simple and easy to use. To reduce time and to automate daily task we started using python and to write code we searched for multiple interfaces and finally opted Jupyter Notebook.

Pros

  • Language
  • Interface
  • Scalability

Cons

  • Modification in interface

Return on Investment

  • Reduce time
  • Reduce effort
  • Reduced errors

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I do all my python projects with it every day and the amount of convenience it provides is unmatchable. It's interface is very easy and self expressive which is why I recommend it the most. It comes with the code sharing feature which i use when I get stuck somewhere or having some bug or needed any advice from the team lead.

Pros

  • Great interface.
  • Segments for codes.
  • Markdown for code explanation.

Cons

  • Sometimes I have to restart it when I import any new python library.
  • Should be available for more languages.

Most Important Features

  • Code sharing feature.
  • Markdown.
  • Code segments.

Return on Investment

  • Open source.
  • Makes coding easier.

Pros

  • Visually intuitive organization of code.
  • Static (but changeable) display of function outputs.
  • Easy replication of notebooks or into new notebooks, or into PDFs.

Cons

  • I'd like to see bookmarks made available for easier scrolling through long notebooks.
  • A dark mode option would be helpful, too.
  • I wish that the display of graphics would be a little bit more customizable as a native function of Jupyter.

Most Important Features

  • Lightweight installation
  • Flexibility with different software languages
  • Straightforward duplication for adaptation

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact: flexible implementation on any OS, for many common software languages
  • Positive impact: straightforward duplication for adaptation of workflows for other projects
  • Negative impact: sometimes encourages pigeonholing of data science work into notebooks versus extending code capability into software integration

Alternatives Considered
