Interactive Programming

Jupyter Notebook has a very attractive feature of interactive programming in browser. It provides a web-based application suitable for capturing the whole computation process: developing, documenting, and executing code, as well as communicating the results.

Main features including but not limited to:

• The ability to execute code from the browser, with the results of computations attached to the code which generated them.
• Displaying the result of computation using rich media representations, such as HTML, LaTeX, PNG, SVG, etc. For example, publication-quality figures rendered by the matplotlib library, can be included inline.
• In-browser editing for rich text using the Markdown markup language, which can provide commentary for the code, is not limited to plain text.
• The ability to easily include mathematical notation within markdown cells using LaTeX, and rendered natively by MathJax.

Please refer to The Jupyter Notebook for more info.

The Development Demo section gives some help about programming in Notebook, mainly programming using Python and R packages.
