Why I Recommend JupyterLab as Your First Python IDE
If you've been wondering what to do with your JupyterLab setup, this video is the answer. We'll walk through what makes JupyterLab practical for business analysis — tab completion, inline documentation, and the ability to mix code with formatted notes in a single file. Along the way, we'll pull the Manufacturers' Inventories to Sales Ratio directly from the Federal Reserve, convert it to a Polars DataFrame, and produce a line chart using Plotnine. We'll also cover exporting your notebook as HTML and PDF using MiKTeX and Pandoc, both installed via winget.
