Chapter 2: Dnotebook - An Interactive Computing Environment for JavaScript

The idea of making our code expressive enough for humans to read and not just for machines to consume was well pioneered by Donald Knuth, who also wrote a book about it called Literate Programming (https://www.amazon.com/Literate-Programming-byKnuth-Knuth/dp/B004WKFC4S). Tools such as Jupyter Notebook give equal weight to prose and code, hence programmers and researchers are free to express themselves extensively through code and text (including images and workflows).

In this chapter, you're going to learn about Dnotebook – an interactive coding environment for JavaScript. You will learn how to install Dnotebook locally. You will also learn how to write code and Markdown in it. In addition, you will learn how to save and import the saved notebook.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
