If you want to do data science, you re going to have to become familiar with Jupyter. It s a hugely popular open source project that is best known for Jupyter Notebooks, a web application that allows data scientists to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. This proves to be a great way to extract data with code and collaborate with other data scientists, and has seen Jupyter boom from roughly 200,000 Notebooks in use in 2015 to millions today.
