/team lead/ Your fears regarding Python on Windows were quite justified. However, the world has dramatically changed, thanks in large part to folks like Continuum.io and their Anaconda distribution, Christoph Golke, and many other

/team lead/ Totally understand - Visual Studio can be somewhat heavy weight especially for basic editing. In that case, check VS Code's Python support. It's very lightweight and cross-platform: https://code.

Hi, fair question. Lots of people are using the service in edu as well as commercial contexts. We haven't put any restrictions in that regard on it. Other than that the plan is to keep this (or something similar) running as long as the

Hmmm... when I click on the Horses link, I see its 3 notebooks, with a blue clone & run button. When clicked, I get prompted to sign in (requires any msft account like outlook, xbox, hotmail, ...). Once you sign in (or create an accou

Is there a way to get these for a repo? I'd love order a couple for my teams. Thanks!

[msft] Fair points jsjohnst. I don't have a good solution for you. Perhaps the teacher can setup one Microsoft account (eg school.outlook.com) and multiple ppl can use it? (but that comes w issues too sadly). Perhaps www.code.org is

[msft] Well, this is an honor - the creator of Jupyter commenting on this thread & not just any comment... but about embedding the Visual Studio Code editor in Jupyter Lab :). Thanks Fernando, Brian, Min & team for everything you&#x

[msft] Not sure. It's a hosted Jupyter Notebook service. A Notebook here is a polyglot, browser based, REPL on steroids. See: http://jupyter.org Sample notebooks (html captures of runnable notebooks): https://nb

[msft] Thanks for digging! Honestly I understand as their team is actively trying to make things like jupyterlab work well right now. My guess is that if services like ours become wildly popular, someone (msft?) may step up and do & m

[msft] Yes! Azure N-Series was announced recently and we hope to make it an option (HW selection in general). Whether it'll be free or not is above my pay grade. Would be nice to have a free tier at least (time/size).

[msft] Understood. Note that you can view notebooks w/o login. If you want a truly no login experience, try the awesome https://tmpnb.org service. But note that these are temporary (tmp-nb...) and will go away. The logi

[msft] Hi dnfromufa. Actually the decision to go with linux/docker was purely because, (at least) at that time, container mgmt was better on linux. In fact Azure ML backends run Windows and you can use notebooks to build ML models, t

[msft] Agree 100%. Focus on science, not scaffolding maintenance. Sharing is basic now (ie unlisted-URL), but proper support (public/private/ro/etc) is coming soon.

[msft] Yes, we should improve the FP, especially for those who aren't familiar with Jupyter. Meanwhile, I hope this answers a few q's: https://notebooks.azure.com/faq

[msft] Wakari is a more complete product from our partners at Continuum.io (we use their Anaconda distro for Azure Notebooks). We have various improvements planned & hope to reach parity soon!
