Gunjan Baid (UC Berkeley),
Vinitra Swamy (UC Berkeley)
Engaging critically with data is now a required skill for students in all areas, but many traditional data science programs aren’t easily accessible to those without prior computing experience. Gunjan Baid and Vinitra Swamy explore UC Berkeley's Data Science program—2,000 students across 50 majors—explaining how its pedagogy was designed to make data science accessible to everyone.
Wes McKinney (Two Sigma Investments)
Wes McKinney makes the case for a shared infrastructure for data science, discusses the open source community's efforts on Apache Arrow, and offers a vision for seamless computation and data sharing across languages.
Matt Burton (University of Pittsburgh)
While Jupyter notebooks are a boon for computational science, they are also a powerful tool in the digital humanities. Matt Burton offers an overview of the digital humanities community, discusses defactoring—a novel use of Jupyter notebooks to analyze computational research—and reflects upon Jupyter’s relationship to scholarly publishing and the production of knowledge.
Lindsey Heagy (University of British Columbia),
Rowan Cockett (3point Science)
Web-based textbooks and interactive simulations built in Jupyter notebooks provide an entry point for course participants to reproduce content they are shown and dive into the code used to build them. Lindsey Heagy and Rowan Cockett share strategies and tools for developing an educational stack that emerged from the deployment of a course on geophysics and some lessons learned along the way.
Lorena Barba (George Washington University)
Lorena Barba explores how to build the ability to support reproducible research into the design of tools like Jupyter and explains how better insights on designing for reproducibility might help extend this design to our research workflows, with the machine as our active collaborator.
Karlijn Willems (DataCamp)
Drawing inspiration from narrative theory and design thinking, Karlijn Willems walks you through effectively using Jupyter notebooks to guide the data journalism workflow and tackle some of the challenges that data can pose to data journalism.
Christopher Kotfila (Kitware)
Chris Kotfila offers an overview of the GeoNotebook extension to the Jupyter Notebook, which provides interactive visualization and analysis of geospatial data. Unlike other geospatial extensions to the Jupyter Notebook, GeoNotebook includes a fully integrated tile server providing easy visualization of vector and raster data formats.
Zach Sailer (University of Oregon)
Scientific research thrives on collaborations between computational and experimental groups, who work together to solve problems using their separate expertise. Zach Sailer highlights how tools like the Jupyter Notebook, JupyterHub, and ipywidgets can be used to make these collaborations smoother and more effective.
Shreyas Cholia (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory),
Rollin Thomas (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory),
Shane Canon (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
Shreyas Cholia, Rollin Thomas, and Shane Canon share their experience leveraging JupyterHub to enable notebook services for data-intensive supercomputing on the Cray XC40 Cori system at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC).
Rachel Thomas (fast.ai)
Although some claim you must start with advanced math to use deep learning, the best way for any coder to get started is with code. Rachel Thomas explains how fast.ai's Practical Deep Learning for Coders course uses Jupyter notebooks to provide an environment that encourages students to learn deep learning through experimentation.
Paco Nathan (derwen.ai)
Paco Nathan reviews use cases where Jupyter provides a frontend to AI as the means for keeping humans in the loop. This process enhances the feedback loop between people and machines, and the end result is that a smaller group of people can handle a wider range of responsibilities for building and maintaining a complex system of automation.
Peter Wang (Anaconda)
In recent years, open source has emerged as a valuable player in the enterprise, and companies like Jupyter and Anaconda are leading the way. Peter Wang discusses the coevolution of these two major players in the new open data science ecosystem and shares next steps to a sustainable future.
Andrew Therriault (City of Boston)
Jupyter notebooks are a great tool for exploratory analysis and early development, but what do you do when it's time to move to production? A few years ago, the obvious answer was to export to a pure Python script, but now there are other options. Andrew Therriault dives into real-world cases to explore alternatives for integrating Jupyter into production workflows.
Demba Ba (Harvard University)
Demba Ba discusses two new signal processing/statistical modeling courses he designed and implemented at Harvard, exploring his perspective as an educator and that of the students as well as the steps that led him to adopt the current cloudJHub architecture. Along the way, Demba outlines the potential of architectures such as cloudJHub to help to democratize data science education.
Kari Jordan (Data Carpentry)
Diversity can be achieved through sharing information among members of a community. Jupyter prides itself on being a community of dynamic developers, cutting-edge scientists, and everyday users, but is our platform being shared with diverse populations? Kari Jordan explains how training has the potential to improve diversity and drive usage of Jupyter notebooks in broader communities.
RAJ SINGH (IBM Cloud Data Services)

Alexandre Archambault (Teads.tv)
Alexandre Archambault explores why an official Scala kernel for Jupyter has yet to emerge. Part of the answer lies in the fact that there is no user-friendly, easy-to-use Scala shell in the console (i.e., no IPython for Scala). But there's a new contender, Ammonite—although it still has to overcome a few challenges, not least being supporting by big data frameworks like Spark, Scio, and Scalding.
