Chapter 14 Project 4.2: Creating Reports

One easy way to share good-looking results is to use a Jupyter notebook’s Markdown cells to create a presentation. This chapter will create a “slide deck” that can be shared and presented. We can expand on this to create a PDF report using additional packages like Jupyter book or Quarto.

In this chapter, we’ll look at two important working results of data analysis:

Slide decks build directly from a Jupyter Lab notebook.
PDF reports built from notebook data and analysis.

This chapter’s project will upgrade an analysis notebook created in the previous chapter to create presentations that can be shared with colleagues. We’ll start by looking at the kinds of reports an analyst may need to produce.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
