Microsoft provides a library of notebooks to help you learn other tools, including using Python with its CNTK deep learning framework and building and training Azure ML models.

Microsoft Azure Notebooks is available free of charge and represents yet another way for people to learn programming and data science outside of traditional schooling.

Azure Notebooks currently support Python 2, Python 3, R, and F# kernels. For some reason, SQL is not listed in the online documentation, but I have installed and used both a Spark and SQL kernel.

The notebooks come pre-packaged with support for the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK and run in what the company describes as a “secure, enterprise-ready environment.” ...

Azure Functions, Microsoft's take on cloud-hosted, serverless, event-driven computing, now officially supports the Python programming language.

The Python Extension for VS Code Insiders team is previewing the newest implementation of notebooks, used frequently in data science with offerings such as Jupyter Notebooks.
