3. HI, I’M CAROL • I love playing and creating with code. • Ooh...cool. How did you make this? • What happens if... • I wonder if I can break it. • People before code - always • Learn, Build, Share - Openly

11. Notebooks for Everyone
12. Build
13. Miniforge (conda-forge/miniforge) A minimal installer for Conda speci fi c to conda-forge. It is comparable to Miniconda, but with: • an emphasis on supporting various CPU architectures • installation scripts or brew install miniforge on Mac • conda-forge set as the default channel • optional support for PyPy in place of standard Python (aka "CPython") • optional support for Mamba in place of Conda
14. Miniforge: Install on your computer brew install miniforge bash <miniforge shell script> Follow directions in the README and terminal output
15. Use a web-based service (Binder) https://jupyter.org/try Try JupyterLab or Jupyter Classic Notebook. Important: This is a temporary notebook so remember to download your notebooks before you close the web page.
16. Six Steps to Notebooks for Humans Text Multimedia Code Interactivity Visualization Sharing
17. 1 Start with an explanation
18. 2 Use code to get or create data
19. 3 Visualize
20. 3 Visualize
21. 4 Interact with the notebook
22. 5 Add multimedia and resources
23. 6 Share the notebook https://gesis.mybinder.org/binder/v2/gist/willingc/aa52d625e5c58c3abfb2814e46d40dff/0fd73ffb21189d2dc9ade8e1a5c09bcd62a6a271
