Tips

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19479645/using-ipython-console-along-side-ipython-notebook - %qtconsole
• Running a notebook server
• Easily distributing a parallel IPython Notebook on a cluster
• Auto-reload - http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/config/extensions/autoreload.html

Type the following to reload modules whenever you execute code.

%load_ext autoreload  
# Reload all modules (except those excluded by %aimport) every time 
%autoreload 2   

You can connect to the server instance via SSH tunneling. But VSCode‘s RemoteSSH plugin solves this problem quite seamlessly.
