Chapter 12
When you log in to Colaboratory at https://colab.research.google.com/
notebooks/intro.ipynb#recent=true, you have the option to open an existing
Jupyter Notebook from your drive or from GitHub. You can also upload an existing
notebook from your computer or create a new notebook. For beginners, it also
contains some example notebooks, as seen in the following screenshot:

You can create a new notebook as well, by clicking on the blue link in the bottomright
corner (in the preceding screenshot). This will create a Python 3 notebook.
Jupyter plans to phase out Python 2 support by January 2020.
Google too shall phase out the Python 2 support from Colaboratory
after that.
To choose the hardware accelerator, you need to go to Edit | Notebook Settings and
select the required hardware accelerator (None/GPU/TPU. For more information
on TPUs refer to Chapter 16, Tensor Processing Unit). The Notebook environment
comes installed with most useful Python packages (TensorFlow, NumPy, Matplotlib,
Pandas, and so on).
