Why All The Online Notebooks

What’s a Notebook? In this new era of agility in application development and big data science, IT may be asked to host and support online notebook environments (e.g. Jupyter or Zeppelin) - documents that can contain live code, in-line documentation, and analytical results - for data scientists, agile programmers, and even business analysts who want to explore, document, and share their work. Notebooks are certainly good for knowledge capture, but are also increasingly being leveraged as re-usable analytical applications themselves.
