Create training notebooks

[rgbkrk]

People seem to enjoy our example notebooks (they also make demoing easy!). I'd like for us to have some organized sections specific to each language and a basic intro notebook:

• [ ] Welcome to nteract!
• [ ] Python
  • [x] Pandas to GeoJSON
  • [ ] Integrating your objects with IPython
  • [x] Updating Displays by Name
• [ ] JavaScript
  • [x] Custom revivers for JSON.parse
  • [ ] Integrating your objects with IJavaScript
• [ ] R
  • [ ] Using ggplot
  • [ ] Distributing Analysis with Sparklyr
  • [ ] Integrating your objects (?) with IRkernel
  • [ ] Yes, it's the iris data set again

In the long run we might have a better indexed grouping of content - for now we have a hierarchical menu that we can curate.

Fantastic idea!

I love this idea! Nothing shows the power of the notebook like a great example!

[rgbkrk]

Awesome! Feel free to add other notebooks to these sections too!

Our best notebooks right now are the display updates one and the pandas to geojson notebook, as they have an overall narrative direction.

@fil - would you be interested in providing a JavaScript notebook using the SVG examples you had earlier?

[Fil]

yes why not.

for a (somewhat complex) example I made this notebook to understand how to use d3 in the kernel ("server"-side), with jsdom: https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/Fil/aec6cbf62f9b71c3407db87d5eb592e7/D3%20notebook.ipynb

maybe what you have in mind are simpler examples (teaching material not "demos")?

[rgbkrk]

This notebook would be a great addition to the example notebooks!

I would love to see more tutorial/training content that people can read through at their own pace. Most of the notebooks we have now could use a little more prose and they'd be well situated.

I've made a simpler example here https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/Fil/ece78e28b287133f38315ba6da308c11/Antarctica-centroid.ipynb please feel free to use it for nteract, ijavascript or jupyter notebook documentations

I'll move this over to the examples repo now that it's the place we maintain them at.
