The SAS Viya platform is compatible for integration with open-source technologies. To facilitate this client-server interaction, many client IDEs have been developed. The Jupyter Notebook allows users to integrate with SAS Viya using various coding languages, namely Python, R, and even SAS. Maybe you're a pro with notebooks, perhaps you've never heard of them, or you fall somewhere in between. We are dedicating SAS Bowl XXXII to the ultra important Jupyter Notebook to help hone your skills.

Game Details

• The SAS Support Community trivia event, SAS Bowl XXXII, Jupyter Notebooks  is scheduled for Wednesday, June 14, at 10 a.m. ET.
• Register for the event and receive an invite to a Microsoft Teams meeting and a calendar event.

More on Jupyter Notebooks

Project Jupyter is a project to develop open-source software, open standards, and services for interactive computing across multiple programming languages. The resulting IDE for the project is the Jupyter Notebook. Notebooks allow you coding language flexibility. The Notebook has support for over 40 programming languages, including Python, R, and SAS. The beauty of Jupyter Notebooks is your code can produce rich, interactive output: HTML, images, videos, LaTeX, and custom MIME types. You can also easily display and use notebooks on GitHub and in VS Code.

Below are some SAS and Jupyter Notebook-related resources we'll use to create questions for the game.
