This course provides guidance to help attendees overcome these challenges:
- Inefficient Workflow – Difficulty organizing notebooks, managing code execution, and structuring projects for better readability and performance
- Limited Understanding of Jupyter Features – Many users only scratch the surface, missing out on powerful features like magic commands, interactive widgets, and automation with papermill
- Data Handling Challenges – Loading, cleaning, and visualizing data efficiently in Jupyter can be overwhelming without structured guidance
- Collaboration & Sharing Issues – Struggling to share notebooks effectively, use version control with GitHub, or deploy notebooks for remote access
- Performance & Scalability Problems – Running into slow execution times, memory overload, or difficulty deploying notebooks to cloud platforms like Google Colab
- Best Practices for Reproducibility – Many users create cluttered notebooks that are hard to maintain, debug, or reuse later
Prerequisites
No advanced programming knowledge is required, but familiarity with Python and basic data handling will be beneficial.
