Get to grips with the basics of JupyterLab and its web interface with the help of this quick start guide

Key FeaturesManage JupyterLab kernels, code consoles, and terminals, and share your work over the cloudOrganize your data solutions within JupyterLabInstall and configure extensions on JupyterLab using easy-to-follow examplesBook Description

JupyterLab is a web-based interface and the natural evolution of Jupyter Notebook. This guide will take you through the core commands and functionalities of JupyterLab and help you enhance your JupyterLab productivity.

Starting with the installation of JupyterLab, this book will give you an overview of its features and the variety of problems it solves. You’ll see how you can work with external files inside the platform, and understand how to use the code console and terminal. This will help you have distinct control over the scripts you work with. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with the extensions available in JupyterLab, and gain insights into adding extensions to introduce new functionality in the interface. This book also covers widget operations within your document, different design patterns in JupyterLab, and the various methods for exchanging Notebooks. Additionally, you’ll explore how to host JupyterLab Notebooks on GitHub.

By the end of this Jupyter book, you’ll have become well-versed with all the components of JupyterLab and be able to use it collaboratively within your data science teams.
