An Introduction to Jupyter Notebook for Data Intensive Social Science Research (Ingrid Mason, Frankie Stevens)
The Introduction to Jupyter Notebook workshop will cover:
what sort of tool a Jupyter notebook is;
where the Integrated Jupyter notebook (as a researcher tool) fits into different researchers’ toolkits;
what advantages there are of using the notebook in the cloud versus on the desktop;
basic Python programming using a Jupyter notebook.
The workshop is ~3 hours (including breaks) and is targeted at researchers, data scientists, and librarians and other professionals interested in what the Jupyter notebook does, how it works, and how it can be used to train researchers in basic programming skills. Workshop participants will want to know where the Jupyter notebook fits into different researchers’ toolkits (along with Excel, SPSS, Stata, RebExr, RStudio, or MatLab). This workshop will include a hands-on component, using basic programming commands covering the basics of the Python programming language.
