Development Environments

Overview

Achieving the core objective of the EGI Federation to advance research and innovation, embracing Open Science, is possible by empowering scientists and researchers to easily perform domain-specific research tasks, without having to deal with the complexities of the underlying infrastructure.

An essential tool that contributes to this objective is a flexible development environment, where users can create and share documents containing live code, equations, narrative text, and rich media output.

The following development environments are available:

• Notebooks is a browser-based, scalable tool for interactive data analysis
• Binder allows re-creation of custom computing environments for reproducible execution of notebooks

The following sections offer a more detailed description of each development environment.
