# 1. Presentation of internal tools @ SCEE
- Welcome to our new PhD student and interns :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed: !
- You met (almost) everybody this week !
- You will become familiar with the research themes of our team…
### Let see a few :hammer_and_wrench: tools that can make your life easier!
---
# Website :spider_web:
- [www-scee.rennes.supelec.fr](http://www-scee.rennes.supelec.fr/) was created by Rémi and Aymeric
- It is maintained mainly by Rémi : we need help!
## New comers, please :pray:
- send a short summary of your research interest with links to your LinkedIn, Google Scholar profile (or other sites). Picture: *if you want*
- **to Rémi and I** so we add you on the website
---
# Internal Wiki :memo:
- We have a MediaWiki running locally on http://172.16.6.219/
- Welcome pack : can be useful in your first days here!
http://172.16.6.219/mediawiki/index.php/Welcome_to_SCEE
- Anyone can edit, it is maintained by Rémi and I
- Participate if you have anything to change (create an account, edit!)

# Workstations :computer: (Windows & GNU/Linux)
- 2 Windows 7 workstations, with MATLAB
+ WS1 : `172.16.6.211`
+ WS2 : `172.16.6.212`
- 1 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) workstation, with Python, GNU Radio…
+ WS3 : `172.16.6.213`
- Powerful machines: 12 cores, 32 Gb of RAM, lots of storage…
- Monitoring :mag: : http://172.16.6.219:8000 (ask us for id/passwd)
(please check for use load, before launching heavy simulations)
## :tipping_hand_woman: Ask for an account if you need
- To run computations, or to use the TestBed
- Ask to *Muhammad for Windows*, to *me for GNU/Linux*
---
# USRP TestBeds :phone:
- We have 8 USRP cards that can be used from GNU Radio Companion on the WS3
- See more on http://172.16.6.219/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page#Hardware
## Monitoring :mag:
- http://172.16.6.213:8000 (made by Quentin)
- let you see the IP of each USRP card
- and who uses what in real time
## :tipping_hand_woman: Advice
- If you need to use the USRP, *discuss with Rémi and Lilian before*

# 2. "Project Jupyter", jupyter.org
---
# 2. What are Jupyter notebooks?
## Technical aspect :mag:
1. A file format, `.ipynb` (just JSON with constraints)
2. An editor in your browser (see it during demo time)
3. Tools to convert `.ipynb` files to scripts, HTML, slides, PDF etc.
## Practical aspect :rocket:
4. A very good way to interact with your code
5. Create smart document with text, maths, code, output and figures, **all included in one file**
6. Easy and perfect to share online and with colleagues !
---
# How to learn :mortar_board: ?
## Online :spider_web:
- Try without installing anything ? At [try.jupyter.org](https://try.jupyter.org/)
## On your laptop :computer:
1. Install it :package:
2. Then start:
```bash
# from your console
$ jupyter notebook
```
3. Then experiment, practice and learn
> If you installed Python with Anaconda, it should be in your system menu *by default* (along *Spyder*, *IPython* and *IPython QT Console*)…
---
## How to install it :package: ?
Install it (you need :snake: Python) from https://jupyter.org/install.html.
```bash
$ conda install jupyter # if you use Anaconda/conda
$ pip install jupyter # for the system-wide Python & pip
```
## How to start it ?
```sh
$ jupyter notebook # from your console
...
Copy/paste this URL into your browser when you connect
for the first time, to login with a token:
http://localhost:8888/?token=44450caacdbe3ecddc21e02e66a6b5162cdd2d86dccd5264
```
- It should open http://localhost:8888/notebooks/ in your browser
- Or open the link in your terminal
---
# :snake: Only for Python :cry: ??
- No: supports naitively Julia, Python and R (**Ju + Py + R = Jupyter**)
- Dozens of "kernels" allow you to use Jupyter with *almost* any language ! (for free). Installation is usually simple & fast.
## Partial list :memo:
- Interpreted languages: :shell: Bash, :camel: Caml/OCaml, Lua etc
- :smiley: and of course Wolfram Mathematica and MATLAB
> even if they have their own notebook tools now.
- :open_mouth: But also compiled languages : C++, C, Go, Java !
## Complete list of "kernels"
> See [github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/Jupyter-kernels)
---
# 3. Demo time
- I will show you quickly all this…
- With an example of coding in Python.
- Reference documentation is:
[jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content-quickstart.html](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content-quickstart.html)
---
## [Internally](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture/visual_overview.html), it's quite complicated, just don't care
---
# Conclusion (1/3)
## Sum-up
- I hope you got a good introduction to Jupyter :ok_hand:
+ Official documentation: at [jupyter.rtfd.io](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content-quickstart.html)
- Also [datacamp.com/community/tutorials/tutorial-jupyter-notebook](http://datacamp.com/community/tutorials/tutorial-jupyter-notebook)
## Pointers
1. :heart: use it and fall in love with it !
2. Use Jupyter-themes ([`github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes`](https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes))
to customize the UI as you wish (dark themes, custom fonts etc)
3. Use extensions if you want more features,
See [jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.rtfd.io](https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io)

# Conclusion (2/3)
## Next GouTP @ SCEE
- Any request or suggestion ?
## GouTP @ FAST or AUT ?
> By Pierre Haessig ?
- **Julia programming language** (~ between Python and Matlab)
see julialang.org if you are curious
## We need participants!
> :point_right: By *you*? Any idea is welcome! :smiley:
---
# Conclusion (3/3)
> *Thanks for joining :clap: !*
> *Contact us if you want to do a GouTP !*
## Your mission, if you accept it… :boom:
1. *Padawan level :* next time you program in :snake: Python (or other language), think about **Jyputer**. Can it help you being more efficient?
2. *Jedi level :* Try to use **Jupyter** when you will have to share or show some piece of code?
3. *Master level :* From now on, try to use (only?) open-source tools for your research (Python and others)…
