About this guide#
This guide explains important SigTech concepts and workflows. It supplements the API Reference, example notebooks, video tutorials and framework source code in helping you make the most of the SigTech platform.
Prerequisites#
SigTech requires some basic Python knowledge—variables, functions, lists, dictionaries and loops. You can learn about these in any good introduction to Python.
You also need to know the basics of using JupyterLab—see our JupyterLab overview.
SigTech 101#
Get started with a suite of introductory notebooks, organized by asset class.
To access the SigTech 101 notebooks:
In the JupyterLab file explorer, select the parent folder icon, and then open the example-notebooks folder.
Open the get_started folder.
Choose an asset type and open its corresponding 101 notebook.
Note that any changes you make to the notebooks in the example_notebooks folder will be overwritten next time you log in. To save your changes, copy the notebook to a workspace.
