Just like to mention that I was working with the Jupyter notebook interface pioneered by Martin Saurer and I adapted my own Binder launch script based on Joe Bogner’s jkernel-docker for Binder.
Both of the aforementioned have github sites that have the code: Martin: https://github.com/martin-saurer/jkernel <https://github.com/martin-saurer/jkernel> Joe: https://github.com/joebo/jkernel-docker <https://github.com/joebo/jkernel-docker> Jupyter notebook runs in a browser and needs a server to control the session. Using Martin’s original kernel I would run the server that comes with the Anaconda python distribution locally on my machine. With the Binder website you can now launch Jupyter notebook files directly out of a repository on GitHub. This allows anyone to share the file. For those who are unfamiliar with Jupyter it is similar to running J or python under an emacs editing session. All user entry is in text editing boxes that get executed either by J, python, or the underlying markup language. It is kind of an executable wiki. Even though code may be entered in separate text editing boxes they are all controlled by one J process so global nouns and function definitions are usable throughout the Jupyter page you are editing. Jupyter notebooks are extensively used in the Python community especially by the BigData/Data Analysis folks > On Oct 12, 2022, at 6:52 PM, 'robert therriault' via Programming > <programm...@jsoftware.com> wrote: > > Present: Art Anger, Raul Miller, Bob Therriault > > 4) There was some discussion about the use of Jupyter notebooks Jupyter > notebooks https://jupyter.org/ within the J environment.
