# Advent of Code - in Jupyter Notebooks [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome#readme) [![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/UncleCJ/advent-of-code/master)



This repository contains the problems and my personal solutions to [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/) in Jupyter (Python) Notebooks. Similar to that of [Alexe Simon](https://github.com/AlexeSimon/adventofcode), I want to provide [boilerplates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilerplate_code) to attempt AoC as well as record my own progress. See also the [Awesome Advent of Code](https://github.com/Bogdanp/awesome-advent-of-code) collection of references.



Jupyter Notebooks read much like the high school "lab reports" I was so fond of creating. In particular, besides being a nice blend of text and code, you may open them in a place such as [mybinder](https://mybinder.org) and get an interactive development environment in any web browser! See a [Jupyter tutorial](https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tutorial/), [Advanced Jupyter tutorial](https://www.dataquest.io/blog/advanced-jupyter-notebooks-tutorial/) and [tips and tricks](https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tips-tricks-shortcuts/).



Note that [mybinder hardly work with GitHub](https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/about/about.html) - if you want to commit to Git, you need to save changes from there and upload them manually. I use [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support) and should look into [nbdime](https://nbdime.readthedocs.io/en/latest) / [jupytext](https://towardsdatascience.com/introducing-jupytext-9234fdff6c57).



Note that I do things like this repository more than I code - [professionally](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carljohan) I want to be a '[Developer Experience Manager](https://twitter.com/annegentle/status/1326389253752975361)'. My Python solutions (in [the branch 'cj'](https://github.com/UncleCJ/advent-of-code/tree/cj)) are notoriously naive but a way for me to learn, and I look at the [solution megathreads on reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/?f=flair_name%3A%22SOLUTION%20MEGATHREAD%22) for inspiration.



## Changelog



### 2021-12-01



We are on again!



This year I am so much more confident than I was in 2020 that I *can* complete the advent, and the challenge to myself is rather to improve my gut-feeling about programming structure and perhaps share the fun with others through this Notebook collection. Enjoy everyone, see you in cyberspace!



### 2021-11-05



Getting back on polishing on this repository - for now only [2020 problems](https://github.com/UncleCJ/advent-of-code/tree/cj/2020), adding comments and improving style. Also glancing at similar repositories and track them, but I haven't found enough activity to merit enumerating yet. In the meantime I have been looking into [experimenting with pywikibot / Mediawiki API and network graphs](https://github.com/UncleCJ/pywikibot-gephi-experiments) - there are various inspiration between the projects, like learning more about Python and things like repo2docker. Much looking forward to December 1st and the opening of [this year's problems](https://adventofcode.com/2021/)!



### 2021-04-02



Got going on solving the [2015 problems](https://github.com/UncleCJ/advent-of-code/tree/cj/2015) retroactively



### 2021-01-16



Finished AoC 2020! Now I can get on with the even more fun and playful work, such as:



* Make this repository more presentable and useful as an AoC sandbox

* Study, discuss, refer to all the other great participants' solutions and improve my own accordingly

* Solve the problems from previous years



### 2020-12-11



Add flake8 style checking



### 2020-12-08



Speed up MyBinder launching by pre-building docker images using [.github/workflows/binder.yaml] *(could provide a reference on this eventually)*. It was convenient when fiddling on code from the corporate computer, but otherwise I've become well acquainted with Jupyter in VS Code.



### 2020-12-07



Learnt that [Eric Wastl doesn't want the community to redistribute](https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/k4e4lm/2020_day_1_solutions/geykew3/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) problems or input data - so stopped doing so, will take out what I already put in and aim for a programmatic solution which will only re-display the problems from the original site



### 2020-12-03



Created this repository and started participating in Advent of Code
