Introductory Mathematica notebook(s).
Most of you will just want to download intro.nb.
.nb is the standard Mathematica notebook format.
If you're like me and into version control,
you will want to download intro.wl.
I prefer .wl because only the input cells are saved.
Output cells and notebook metadata are not saved.
This means that
- Raw
.wlfiles are a lot more readable than.nbfiles (compareintro.wlwithintro.nb) - You can sensibly edit a
.wlfile in any plaintext editor - You can sensibly do version control with
.wlfiles.
- StackExchange: "What are the most common pitfalls awaiting new users?"
- Use Mathematica in the browser (can't save anything though)
