Very nice! Please consider uploading it to Http://notebooks.azure.com It's a free service for running and sharing Jupyter notebooks. That way the can run it immediately w/on installing anything (has anaconda). Lots of teachers are using it. For example: Http://notebooks.azure.com/richie Disclaimer: I work on this :)

Hey! A while ago someone from Azure posted that you guys were working on a ML course based around Azure notebooks, do you know anything about that?

  Hi. My team basically runs the service - we don't provide much content. We rely on other domain experts to do that. We'll soon start highlighting some great notebooks on the front page however, especially ML related.

Nifty, thanks for posting this. I've started using Jupyter Notebooks with my (high school) technologies students this year. I can see this being particularly useful since our sector is shifting everything into the MS cloud, so we can re-use our school credentials, and I can also stop worrying about having to make sure programming environments are installed on student images and so on.

Thanks, this seems exactly what I was looking for! One question though, all demos I looked at had 'run' disabled. Is there some 'catch' to this?

  I'll chime in here (Disclaimer, also dev for the Azure Notebooks team, etc etc) If you want to alter/play around with the demo, you can "clone" the sample library, which will prompt you to create an account if you have not. This process is free/noncommittal/just requires an email address, but lets us create an env + storage for you to run and persist it in. Post-cloning, you can run any library you own like you would expect.

This is probably a really stupid question - This is the second time I've looked at this, and I still can't work out how to create a notebook.

  Not stupid at all. They UI can certainly improve, suggestions welcome :). 1. Sign in (top right) 2. Click "Get Started" to clone existing sample Library of notebooks - (a library is like a Project or Repo) 3. Click clone - this will give you your own copy of the Library 4. Click Run (this will give you a docker container with a bunch of pkgs. you can add your own pkgs). To start from scratch 1. Sign in 2. +New Library. Give it a name or load a full Github repo including all its data) 3. Once in the Library, +New Notebook (or load a notebook from your machine) 4. Click the new notebook name or Run to land in your docker instance. Hope this helps!
