Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll get hands-on experience using Jupyter Notebook in a real-world data science project. You’ll train a simple KNN classifier and use Jupyter, IPython, and the easy-to-use Markdown markup language to document and share your work. Your challenges will include customizing your notebooks, incorporating your notebooks into a data science project, and sharing your projects with the community on GitHub.
