Tools for the book¶
To follow the book on your own computer, you will need to install some tools. Additionally, if you want to share your code or work in collaboration with others, e.g. during a code-sprint, consider some of the other tools below.
Tools¶
Python (because it is nice to us!)
Jupyter Notebooks, the swiss-army-knive of DH
If you want to use this book in a collaborative setting, consider also
Cloud services (e.g. Nextcloud or Seafile) to share files
Slack to chat while solving problems
Python¶
Install Python using Anaconda: URL
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(
np.random.randn(1000, 4),
columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
)
df.plot()
JupyterLab¶
To edit Jupyter Notebooks, use JupyterLab (comes bundled with Anaconda, or install standalone)
Cloud Services¶
Based on open source software, e.g Seafile or Nextcloud, often found at universities
For sharing files between project partners
Login e.g. with your institutions account
Slack/RocketChat/…¶
Chat-App with rooms for different topics
Join with your email (invitation mail necessary)
