Introduce yourself!

HI,
I am somewhat new and very old to programming. I started with dBaseIII, Vim and Visual basic in the 80ā€™s, Took 30 years off of programming. Now I am working with Python and SQL. Things are different from my days of a DOS or QNX prompt.
I did some work with Python on Cisco networks last year and found Jupyter Notebooks very useful. Starting to work more now with postgresql and psycopg2. Been a tough road so far getting the tools to work. More fun to come.

Hi all, prompted by @betatim on Twitter I thought Iā€™d better introduce myself. Iā€™m Tim Sherratt, a digital historian whoā€™s been using Jupyter to build up a repository of tools, examples, hacks, and tutorials for people wanting to explore data from GLAM organisations (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums). Mostly focused on Australia and NZ at present. Itā€™s called the GLAM Workbench and is, of course, constantly under constructionā€¦

Hi! Eugene Ciurana here - angel investor, computer engineer, Python / R / Java guy, and open source evangelist. Twitter: @pr3d4t0r - Iā€™ve been working in ML and exploratory data analysis of unstructured data since 2011. Successful tech stacks include Badoo (billing, fraud detection), Summly, Yahoo! Knowledge Graph, Cosmify, Meltwater Fairhair.ai Knowledge Graph. These days I work on predictive analytics for optimizing consumer pricing, genetic algorithms, and learning Dart/Flutter. Cheers!

Hi, Iā€™m Mike. I try to use computer science to help further biomedical research. If multi-omics tells you something - thatā€™s my thing! Currently a DPhil student at Oxford.

Jupyter helped me a lot when I had to work remotely, and now I try to give back to the community by sharing my scripts and experiments which proved to be helpful (and I hope that you will enjoy them too!), including:

  • code intelligence (linter, completions, etc) integration for lab, jupyterlab-lsp,
  • a bunch of helper scripts I used in my masterā€™s project: jupyter-helpers,
  • go-to-definition extension for lab,
  • manim (the library for maths video) integration with IPython using %%manim magic

And two previously unannounced toys:

  • %vault magic, a more powerful version of IPythonā€™s %store: data-vault,
  • nbpipeline, an experiment of crossbreeding snakemake and Jupyter (or, to make reproducible notebooks pipelines with visualisations) - very experimental but feedback welcome.

I put links to the repositories in a GitHub gist.

It was a great pleasure to interact with Jupyter community and contributors - I look forward to continuing working with you all, and maybe meeting you at a conference in the future!

Hello, I am Pierre, from Paris, France.
I am (paleo-)climate modeller interested in the links between tectonics, climate, and biodiversity.
I have stepped in the Jupyter Notebook universe last year.
Since then, Iā€™ve been using notebooks almost daily, with NOAA pyferret embedded to visualize netcdf files, thanks to the ferretmagic plugin. Although I am far from being an expert user, Jupyter Notebooks are so convenient I am encouraging everyone in my group to use them.

An example: colleagues and I have recently submitted a paper which I tried to make ā€œfully-openā€ :
The model code can be freely downloaded, the outputs can be retrieved on the Zenodo plateform.
Thanks to Chris Holdgrafā€™s ā€œZenodo+Binder how to guideā€, we also managed to make the analyses available as well, gathered in a single jupyter notebook embedded in Binder. Thus all the figures from the paper can be checked, re-generated, orā€¦ improved ! (Any feedbacks most welcome :slight_smile: )
Cheers !

I am wandasiem, a graduate student at UConn in the Business Analytics and Project Management program. I am working on learning python and in the process discovered Jupyter. I am happy to find a site where I can ask questions and hope for help.

thanks,

Iā€™m a mathematician. Just started with Jupyter Notebooks.
I would like to use vim, when editing the notebooks, particularly the markdown cells. Google gives lots of hits, but when I look them up, they assume I know whatā€™s going on, which I donā€™t. Where can I find ELEMENTARY instructions for how to get vim working? Here possibly? Vim bindings might be sufficient. I have reasonable knowledge of vim, but not expert. I know very little about Jupyter. I am using a J notebook for a Python3 project. I know nothing about browsers and adding extensions to them. Thanks for any help.

Perhaps I should have said that Iā€™m using bash on a Macbook Pro

Hey there, Iā€™m Nicholas, an undergraduate at the University of Glasgow. I am working on a web based IDE for a compsci course which allows students to work on and submit lab exercises without worrying about environments and dependencies. Iā€™ve posted in the Q&A which outlines the issue I am facing. Cheers!

Hi, I am Marvin and I have been working with Python since ~2006 but only very recently I have started to use Jupyter Notebooks. Now I use them in an educational context. So many of the new formats (JupyterHub, JupyterBook, nbgrader, ā€¦) are so exciting and open new opportunities for teaching and exams. Some parts in education should always be done by humans but some repetitive tasks definitely need automation!
