These notebooks and other material are for the Scala Days 2016 and Strata London 2016 talks by Andy Petrella and Dean Wampler on why Scala is a great language for Data Science.

The talk is organized as a series of notebooks, install Spark Notebook, then run it with the following command, where we assume that $SPARK_NOTEBOOK_HOME is where you installed it and you are running the command from this directory, $PWD (the full path is required for the notebooks argument):

export NOTEBOOKS_DIR=$PWD/notebooks
$SPARK_NOTEBOOK_HOME/bin/spark-notebook

For Windows, use the following:

set NOTEBOOKS_DIR=%CD%\notebooks
%SPARK_NOTEBOOK_HOME%\bin\spark-notebook

Then open the notebooks (e.g., WhyScala). To evaluate all the cells in a notebook, use the Cell > Run All menu item.
