Summary

In this chapter, we covered the process of installing Polyglot Notebooks, creating and executing code cells, defining Markdown cells, adding methods and classes to our code, working with variables, and how languages can share data between kernels. We also identified a few steps you can take when your notebook isn’t working properly.

Chapter code

The final code for this chapter is available as a .dib notebook in the book’s repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Data-Science-with-.NET-and-Polyglot-Notebooks) in the Chapter02/Chapter2.dib file. Subsequent chapters in this book will also have their notebooks placed in chapter-specific folders.

This chapter gave you enough to install and get started using Polyglot Notebooks for your own experiments. I’d encourage you to spend some time trying various language features to see how they behave in Polyglot Notebooks as working with notebooks is the best way to gain comfort.
