Introducing Data Science Training and Cloud-Hosted Notebooks From Anaconda

This year, Anaconda surpassed a milestone—we now have over 30 million users worldwide. We watched our community grow as Python became the world’s most popular programming language, as our CEO and co-founder Peter Wang announced the PyScript project, and as we expanded into new realms of data science tooling with our acquisition of PythonAnywhere. It is humbling to serve such a large portion of the data science community.

As we continue to provide millions of people access to thousands of data science, AI, and machine learning packages, we asked ourselves, “How can we further expand access to data literacy and numerical computing? What can we do to further lower the barrier to entry?”

Anaconda has been preparing the answer to that question for quite some time. Since the launch of our online community, Anaconda Nucleus, we have seen search terms like ‘Jupyter’ and ‘Python tutorial’ flood the platform as thousands of users look to get started. Finally, the day has come.

We are incredibly excited to announce the release of a brand-new suite of products on the Anaconda Nucleus platform: Anaconda Notebooks and Anaconda Learning.

Cloud-Hosted, Ready-To-Code Notebooks

Now available, Anaconda Notebooks allows you to start coding with Anaconda immediately—anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection. It is 100% cloud hosted, browser based, and installation and configuration free.
