Raki’s DS Adventures: Entry 2 “Jupyter, Spyder & Colab”
What a day!
I always use PHP language during my day job, but I often heard about this new, exciting language — Python. I did some light reading before about Python, and I was amazed by the fact that it is so powerful yet simple enough to be understood. With our recent activities at FTW Foundation, I was able to do more than just light reading.
We used Google Colab, Jupyter Notebooks, and Git CMD to explore and create our files and development environment. I can safely say that I still have a long way to go before I can fully use this powerful language.
I have done the basics of Jupyter Notebook and Google Colab. It was not that hard as I expected, maybe because I already understood some fundamentals in web development. I included all my notes and side comments inside the file, just like this:
After I downloaded my `.ipynb` file, I jumped to the next activity, which is using Git CMD to clone and commit files to our Github repositories. I previously used CMD Prompt in my previous story, but I like Git CMD more since I was able to customize the theme. The below image is a screenshot of when I successfully cloned my Github repository.
I am getting pumped up by these coding activities even though I am getting lots of errors at first. The satisfaction of fixing bugs and running the codes with no errors never ceased to amaze me. I’m excited to see what comes next in my Data Science adventures!
