Let’s completely rethink the notebook

Topics

Description

Jupyter notebooks have been around for a while now and are an approachable starting point for anyone interested to explore data and programming. It's done a lot of good, but it was never really designed to be 'the' Python notebook. It's always wanted to support multiple languages and this is reflected in many of the design decisions. And that makes you wonder, what could one do if we really did do just that? What if we ignored other languages and really only cared about Python and data tools? Would the notebook be different?

The goal of this talk is to demonstrate this idea by talking about widgets, reactive Python, modern data tooling and also about the freedom to rethink your tools. There will also be demos. Lots. Of. Demos.
