Overview

Data Scientist Workbench aims to be your one-stop shop for data science tools. At this time, it is a technology preview limited to IPython/Jupyter notebooks enabled with Spark integration. You will use notebooks to develop and run Spark programs, as well visualize, document and present your analysis. Currently, Spark integration is only supported by the Scala runtime.
