# Compute Server

There are two primary environments for running code on the server: Jupyter and VS Code. Neither one is really better than the other, they're just different interfaces. If you've taken NESC 3505, *Neural Data Science*, then you will be familiar with the VS Code interface. On the other hand, if you're new to coding and data analysis, Jupyter is more user-friendly for new users. See the description and brief orientation to Jupyter under [Data Science Tools](/ncil-lab-handbook/4KX9BrRxON7flu3dJyRM/computer-stuff/data-science-tools.md).
