Yes, a good deal of what you do involves typing in code and seeing what happens. However, if you don’t actually know how to use your tools well, you miss opportunities to perform tasks easier and faster. Automation is an essential part of performing data science tasks in Python.
This chapter is about working with Jupyter Notebook. Earlier chapters give you some experience with this tool, but those chapters don’t explore Jupyter Notebook in any detail, and you need to know it a lot better for upcoming chapters. The skills you develop in this chapter will help you perform tasks in later chapters with greater speed and far less effort.
