Exploring Polyglot Notebooks

In the last chapter, we covered what notebooks are and how they’re helpful to developers, data analysts, data scientists, and technology managers.

By the time we’re done with this chapter, you should have a much clearer idea of what the notebook development process looks like so we can drill into more specific uses in future chapters.

In this chapter, we’ll cover the following:

• Installing Polyglot Notebooks
• Creating your first notebook
• Executing notebook cells
• Declaring classes and methods
• Working with other languages
• Sharing variables between kernels ...
