Jupyter—the new front end for data science

2017-06-28T15:04:53.828Z

Hello DSC Member,

Having data doesn’t make you successful. Knowing what to do with it does.

Jupyter Notebook, the new front end for data science, has been quietly infiltrating the world’s most data-driven organizations like Bloomberg, Microsoft, IBM Watson, and Netflix. It’s a powerful tool for collaborative data science and making analysis actionable.

At JupyterCon, happening August 22-25 in New York, discover how the Notebook and other open source Jupyter tools can:

create self-documenting analysis and apps
transform workflows
improve organization-wide collaboration
solve "last mile" issues of communicating results to management

It could be the most valuable 3 days of 2017 for you. Check out the program and make your plans today—Early Price ends Friday, June 30.
