CoCalc: A fully colloborative notebook development environment

Episode #273, published Sat, Jul 18, 2020, recorded Tue, Jul 7, 2020

Everyone in the Python space is familiar with Notebooks these days. One of the original notebook environments was SageMath. Created by William Stein, and collaborators, it began as an open-source, Python-based, computational environment focused on mathematicians.

It has since grown into a full-blown company and has become a proper collaborative environment for things like Jupyter notebooks, Linux-backed Bash shells, and much more. Think Google Docs but across all these facets of development in your browser.

We welcome back William Stein to give us an update on his journey from professor to entrepreneur building CoCalc along the way.
