Mastering Jupyter Notebook Shortcuts for Efficiency

Jupyter Notebook is a powerful tool for data scientists, analysts, and developers. While it provides an intuitive interface for coding, knowing keyboard shortcuts can greatly enhance your efficiency. This blog explores essential shortcuts that will help you navigate, edit, and execute cells faster.

🔹 1. Cell Operations

Action Shortcut
Run cell Shift + Enter
Run cell & insert below Alt + Enter
Run cell & stay Ctrl + Enter
Insert new cell below B
Insert new cell above A
Delete cell D D (press D twice)
Split cell Ctrl + Shift + -
Merge selected cells Shift + M

🔹 2. Editing & Navigation

Action Shortcut
Enter Edit Mode Enter
Exit Edit Mode (Command Mode) Esc
Move cell up Shift + Up
Move cell down Shift + Down
Copy cell C
Cut cell X
Paste cell below V
Paste cell above Shift + V
Undo delete cell Z

🔹 3. Changing Cell Type

Action Shortcut
Convert to Code Cell Y
Convert to Markdown Cell M

🔹 4. Commenting Code

Action Shortcut
Comment/Uncomment single line Ctrl + /
Comment multiple lines using # Select lines & press Ctrl + /
Comment multiple lines using triple quotes ''' Comment ''' or """ Comment """

🔹 5. Other Useful Shortcuts

Action Shortcut
Show all shortcuts H
Restart Kernel 0 0 (press 0 twice)
Select all cells Ctrl + A
Toggle line numbers Shift + L

🔹 Why Use These Shortcuts?

  • Boosts productivity – No need to rely on mouse clicks.
  • Faster navigation – Quickly switch between cells and modes.
  • Efficient coding – Instantly execute, format, or manipulate cells.
  • Better workflow – Seamlessly switch between Markdown and Code cells.

Conclusion: Mastering these Jupyter Notebook shortcuts will save time and effort, making coding smoother and more efficient. Try incorporating them into your workflow and experience the difference! 🚀

🌐Filtering and Copying Files Dynamically in Azure Data Factory (ADF)

Image
  Filtering and Copying Files Dynamically in Azure Data Factory (ADF) Introduction In Azure Data Factory (ADF) , automating file processing is a common use case. This guide demonstrates how to: Retrieve file metadata (including filenames inside a folder). Filter files based on today’s date. Apply advanced filter conditions such as contains() , startswith() , and endswith() . Copy only filtered files dynamically using ForEach and Copy Data activities. Step 1: Set Variable for Today's Date The first step is to create a Set Variable activity to store today’s date in ddMMyyyy format. Activity: Set Variable Variable Name: dt Value: @formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'ddMMyyyy') Explanation utcNow() fetches the current UTC time. formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'ddMMyyyy') converts it into a day-month-year format. Example Output: { "name": "dt", "value": "28022025" } Step 2: Get Metadata of Folder Contents ...

🔥Apache Spark Architecture with RDD & DAG

  Apache Spark Architecture with RDD & DAG Apache Spark follows a master-slave architecture, designed for fast, distributed data processing. It consists of three main components: Driver Node (Master) Cluster Manager Executors (Workers) Additionally, two important internal components play a crucial role in execution: RDD (Resilient Distributed Dataset) DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) 1. Driver Node (Master) The Driver Node is responsible for coordinating and executing a Spark application. Responsibilities of the Driver: Starts a SparkSession (entry point of Spark). Divides the program into tasks and schedules them. Sends tasks to executors for execution. Monitors task execution and collects results. Working of the Driver Node: User submits a Spark job using spark-submit . Driver requests resources from the Cluster Manager. The job is converted into a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph). The DAG is split into Stages, and each Stage contains Tasks. The Cluster Man...

🖥️☁️AWS Athena, AWS Lambda, AWS Glue, and Amazon S3 – Detailed Explanation

AWS Athena, AWS Lambda, AWS Glue, and Amazon S3 – Detailed Explanation AWS provides various serverless services to handle data processing, querying, and storage efficiently. Let's break down each of these services with a structured approach. 1. AWS Athena Definition: AWS Athena is an interactive query service that allows users to analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. It is a serverless service, meaning you don’t need to manage infrastructure. Purpose: Allows querying structured and semi-structured data stored in Amazon S3. Uses Presto as its underlying engine to execute SQL queries efficiently. Enables quick ad-hoc analysis without setting up a database or cluster. Advantages: ✅ Serverless – No need to provision or manage servers. ✅ Cost-effective – Pay only for the amount of data scanned. ✅ Supports various formats – Works with CSV, JSON, ORC, Parquet, Avro stored in S3. ✅ Integrates with BI tools – Can be used with Power BI, Tableau, AWS QuickSight ...
