#Beaker - the data scientist's laboratory

Beaker is a code notebook that allows you to analyze, visualize, and document data using multiple programming languages. Beaker's plugin-based polyglot architecture enables you to seamlessly switch between languages in your documents and add support for your favorite languages that we've missed.

This page is for developers. If you want to use or learn more about Beaker, see the home page.

#Build, test, and run instructions

See the page for your platform for how to build from source: Ubuntu, Mac, Windows. We use gradle to compile the project.

Say cd test; ./runner to run the end-to-end tests with Protractor.

##Language support

We currently provide support for Python, R, Julia, Groovy, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, HTML, Markdown, and LaTeX.

Beaker supports autotranslation of variables between languages. For example, you can read and process some data in Python, model it with R, and then turn that into an interactive visualization with Javascript.

##Architecture

Beaker is primarily composed of a Java server and a Javascript client. There are plugins for each language, and interaction plugins as well. The architecture and the organization of the source is code is covered in the Architecture wiki.

Plugin specifications: Evaluator plugins, Menu plugins, Output display plugins

##Open source Beaker's full source code and documentation is available under the Apache 2.0 license. Beaker's sharing feature uses a server with its own repository.
