This looks like a Microsoft hosted cloud based "Dynabook." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynabook Is that what it basically is?
See:
Sample notebooks (html captures of runnable notebooks):
One of my physics major friends uses a Chromebook (and a shitty Windows laptop he prefers not to deal with). I set up a DigitalOcean droplet for him to run Jupyter. One of the big problems is that it's not safe for him to share Jupyter notebooks by URL, since anyone to whom he discloses the web UI password gets remote code execution (exec and friends work). A professionally maintained, sufficiently sandboxed Jupyter…

[msft] Not sure. It's a hosted Jupyter Notebook service. A Notebook here is a polyglot, browser based, REPL on steroids. See: http://jupyter.org Sample notebooks (html captures of runnable notebooks): https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/
Smalltalk is somewhat of a primitive browser and very much a REPL on steroids. Instead of being polyglot from the standpoint of supporting multiple languages, Smalltalk was designed to be usable by people from grade school students up through researchers. (It largely succeeded in that goal, but failed in that it didn't attain enough popularity with mainstream engineers/programmers.)
Some of the educational uses of Squeak Smalltalk are very much in the same vein.
Ok, let's use OneDrive to load data. Where is that option?
Nvm, let's use Dropbox instead. Does not work "Something went wrong. Please refresh the page."
Maybe Azure storage? Trying to sign-up, filled sign-up form, verified account via SMS, entered CC data. Nope! "Cannot proceed with signup due to issue with your account. Contact support". (tried multiple times)
Contacting support.. creating incident, describing the issue. When trying to attach screenshot I get "The file upload service server is not available at this time. Wait a few minutes and then try it again."
Seriously, Microsoft??
Excited! Let's load some data and try it out! Ok, let's use OneDrive to load data. Where is that option? Nvm, let's use Dropbox instead. Does not work "Something went wrong. Please refresh the page."

RE Storage/CC sign up. I'll locate someone in that group & reply back.

Check out https://juliabox.com/ , which despite the name also supports Python. (Disclaimer: service is run by my employer)
Hi folks - Thanks for taking a look at Azure notebooks. Here's some background info: What is it? It's an offshoot of Azure ML Studio which has Jupyter support. We asked the powers that be if we could also instantiate it also as a free service - "yes" was the answer. Who is it aimed at? Students, faculty, casual users, folks that want to give webinars, classrooms, etc & want to skip software install headaches. What do…
I have not visited any Microsoft property for some time now and I have this strange feeling about the UX. Sadly I can not say if it is my deeply rooted aversion against everything Microsoft or if the UX is really odd.
Hi dandare. I am a dev on Azure Notebooks at Microsoft and can tell you that our team also delivers Python Tools for Visual Studio, Azure SDK for Python, R Tools for Visual Studio, and previously Node.js Tools for Visual Studio. The UX was not done in any way to feel like something else. We tried to design something that worked well for Jupyter users as well as looked nice and was usable. That being said, our teams s…

[msft] RE Dropbox - Very sorry about that :(. We discovered an issue earlier and are feverishly looking at fixing it. Will remove the UI until it is fixed. Meanwhile you can !curl in data among other approaches. RE Storage/CC sign up. I'll locate someone in that group & reply back.
