The latest hot thing in data science: Jupyter Notebook

Meet a key leader in the data science software programming world, with Project Jupyter, at a Jupyter Notebook Meetup being held at UC San Diego on Wednesday night, March 20. Featured speaker will be Carol Naslund Willing, a core developer and steering committee member of Project Jupyter. Willing is also a fellow of the Python Software Foundation, and a developer at Willing Consulting. She has an engineering degree from Duke University and a master’s in management from MIT, and has been developing software and electronics for more than 20 years. The event is co-sponsored by Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute.
Jupyter Notebook has become a standard in Data Science as well as in science and education over the past five years. In 2017, Project Jupyter received the ACM Software System Award for Jupyter, a broad collaborative developing open source tools to enable more powerful and effective interactive computing. One of the key components of Jupyter is its language-agnostic design, an open source tool designed for utility of accessibility interactive computing across dozens of programming languages. The web application allows people 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, machine learning, and more. https://jupyter.org/.

The event will feature an overview of San Diego’s history with Project Jupyter and its rapid growth. The newest updates will be featured the annual Jupyter team meeting held in mid-March  before the meetup, focusing on the subjects of JupyterHub, Binder, JupyterLab, and visualizations. The event starts at 5:30 pm with pizza and networking, followed by the presentation at 6 pm/
