This repository has been moved under the Almond organization.
The new location ist https://github.com/almond-sh/examples. All further development will happen there.
This archived copy is only kept here for some time to avoid breaking binder links.
A collection of Jupyter notebooks showing what you can do with the Almond Scala kernel.
The easiest way to get started is to run the examples on Binder. All your need is a browser!
Binder is an amazing service that allows you to create an executable environment out of a Git repository containing Jupyter notebooks. That way, you can play with the examples and try new things without having to install anything locally.
You can view the notebooks directly on GitHub, as it has a basic renderer for Jupyter notebooks. It doesn't execute any JavaScript though, which severly limits its ability to show dynamically generated plots i.e. from plotly and vegas.
A much better option is to render them through nbviewer. nbviewer supports loading notebooks directly from a repo on GitHub.

An even better way to learn about Jupyter and Almond is to run it locally so you can try things out for yourself.
To run these notebooks locally:
- Install Jupyter Notebook
- Install an Almond kernel
- Clone the project and run
jupyter notebookin the project directory - Open one of the example notebooks and play with it!
