Folks, I've seen lots of announcements about Jupyter notebook support in Cosmos DB, so I created a free tier account and enabled notebooks. We have tons of raw data in blobs so I was hoping to use our C# crosstab library to digest this data and turn it into nice charts and tables. Also hoping that the notebook would do the visualisation heavy lifting. I've used in-book C# to create some list and dictionaries of sample data, but:
No intellisense so it's like coding in notepad LINQ Enumerable doesn't work (what else doesn't?) I can't figure out how to activate whatever is required to make charts (pandas, bokeh, nteract … what the hell is this stuff?) Most of the sparse sample code is in Python I can't find any clear tutorials or videos on how to use notebooks realistically Can I "publish" a notebook for a customer to view (*VERY* important question) So this facility looks great, but there is no general guidance on how to use it properly. I'm still not even sure if it's viable for what I want. It's an impenetrable jumble. Is anyone using Cosmos DB notebooks and can clearly explain what they're best for? *Greg K*
