Getting started with Wakari
Wakari is a cloud service for collaborative Python data-analysis environments, created by Continuum Analytics. Wakari provides a powerful set of preconfigured Python environments built over Anaconda, which is a free Python distribution for large-scale data processing and scientific computing. Wakari uses an IPython GUI, which is a Python shell improved for writing, debugging, and testing Python code for scientific computing. IPython provides a terminal-based interface and an HTML notebook similar to Wolfram-Mathematica . In Wakari, we can either use the terminal console or the IPython Notebook.
Wakari helps us to set up a complete scientific Python environment without any local installation. This can be very convenient for learning purposes, because we may start coding right away and the Anaconda distribution includes several of the most used libraries such, as NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, PIL, Pandas, Numba, and so on.
In Wakari, we may use different kinds of terminals...
