Run your first notebook

In this exercise, you will create your first notebook and run some Python script.

The data scientist at Sierra Publishing has just received access to the Databricks environment and has reached out to you about some of the work you have been doing. They suggested it would be good to get an idea of how to work in Databricks, specifically using features in the Workspace page. The Workspace is where you can store notebooks, queries, and dashboards you are working on. You have decided that you will both play around with the dataset you uploaded earlier and do some basic exploration.

We do not recommend doing so, but if you lost progress you will have to recreate the data table bx_books_file using the information in the Adding your datasets exercise, and recreate the cluster using the information in the Create your first cluster exercise.
