[WSG22] Daily Study Group: Building and Sharing Technical Workflows

A new study group on the topic “Building and Sharing Technical Workflows” will begin soon.

Join a cohort of fellow learners and expand your understanding of how the Wolfram Notebook interface can be used to express your ideas and develop technical workflows for data science, modeling, research, education and more. No previous experience with Mathematica or the Wolfram Language is required.

August 15–20, 11am–12pm US CT (4–5pm GMT)

Homework:
Have some fun experimenting with the Wolfram Language in a notebook. Try editing this colorful notebook yourself.

  • Click Make Your Own Copy on the top-right corner to create your own copy of the notebook to edit.
  • Edit the heading “Something Colorful” to say something more meaningful to you.
  • Replace the image of the frog with a different image.
  • Evaluate the line of code with ImageIdentify[ ...] by placing your cursor anywhere in the cell and pressing Shift+Enter.
  • Evaluate the line of code that says WordDefinition[%].
  • Place your cursor in the empty space in the notebook after the output from the preceding line of code and type in Length[TextWords[%]].
  • Evaluate the code you just typed in–it should give you the number of the words in the line of text from the previous output.

Bonus challenge: Create a Grid or ImageCollage of all the flags of the countries in Europe.

Hints: To get a list of flags of all the countries in Europe try a natural language input like “flags of european countries” (after typing in the equal sign in a new cell in a notebook)

Here is my homework notebook. Feel free to use this as an example or non-example.
I found a hiccup using the ImageIdentify and thought it would be good to share.

Hi, I did not receive a link to the session. Please send it.
Michael.

I found it at Webinar: Daily Study Group: Building and Sharing Technical Workflows by Wolfram Research. Still, please make sure that I am on the list. Thanks.

Hi Michael, I confirm you are on the registration list and should receive daily reminder emails. I see that there was a problem with the BigMarker email server, and we have reported this. I apologize for the email problem today.

Good idea to go to the series page, where you can join the session in progress:

Nice work @Steven Zimmerman

There was a question at today’s session about creating a button to evaluate some code occurring in cells earlier in the notebook. Here is one possible way to do this:

Thank you, Abrita, for this Button Code example. I need to develop more strategies for myself on creating “small, stand alone, user interactive applications”. William

Got it, thanks

I found that since Mathematica 12, it is failed to insert citations using Endnote V20.
Is Mathematica 13 fixed now?

Add/Remove Cell Tags does indeed appear when you right-click on the cell bracket. Thanks Nana and Vamshi for pointing that out.

Scope of the three different levels for applying a style or option:

  • Global Preferences—settings for the entire application
  • Selected Notebook—settings for an entire notebook
  • Selection—settings for the current selection, e.g. for a group of cells, a single cell, or text within a cell
