Notebooks with .NET

Jupyter and nteract

Project Jupyter is a popular platform for creating interactive notebooks that can be used for data science, documentation, DevOps, and much more.

There are several ways to get started using .NET with Jupyter, including Jupyter Notebook, JupyterLab, and nteract.

Visual Studio Code

We have recently introduced the .NET Interactive Notebooks extension for Visual Studio Code Insiders, which adds support for .NET Interactive using the new Visual Studio Code native notebook feature. While we are still in the early stages of this effort, we encourage you to try it out. If you'd like to contribute, you can start here.
