I'm trying to learn everything, including Pipeline and Q2.
Is there a repository of algos that include best practices (meaning using Pipeline) as of today?
Specifically, I want to learn by example, but I don't want to look at algos that were written without Pipeline or Q2.
Last, can you explain the advantages of using the Research environment? Why isn't it just available as part of the Q2 platform?
btw, Q2 looks awesome!
Hi Steve,
I definitely recommend starting with the Getting Started tutorial (though it doesn't cover Pipeline). It's meant to be a condensed and quick walk through of the Quantopian API basics. That being said, if you really want to jump into the deep end, here are a few examples that use Pipeline and Q2 from the help docs:
https://www.quantopian.com/help#combining-and-ranking
https://www.quantopian.com/help#creating-custom-factors
https://www.quantopian.com/help#sample-meanreversion
Note that they still have handle_data. We have an update in process to remove handle_data from these examples.
And two examples from the community:

Regarding the research environment, the advantage is that it's much easier to interact with the data and create plots. The idea is that you can use research to play with the data and come up with an idea, and then you can implement it in the IDE. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by research not being part of the Q2 platform. Do you think you could elaborate?
