GCP == Google Cloud Platform ? Cool : What is GCP?

[ccasimiro9444]

Yes, Google Cloud Platform. There are some large public datasets on Google's Bigquery, that could be imported into Google Cloud Datalab (similar to Jupyter Notebooks) and then I want to use Python to visually render the data.
I am from a stats background, so Python and GCP are kinda new to me. But saw this in action and hence will try to replicate some of it. But I am already stuck importing the Bigquery data into Datalab :) Hope you guys can help me figuring it out.
