Learn Python with Talk Python's 270 hours of courses

Project Jupyter and IPython

Episode #44, published Tue, Feb 2, 2016, recorded Tue, Jan 26, 2016

One of the fastest growing areas in Python is scientific computing. In scientific computing with Python, there are a few key packages that make it special. These include NumPy / SciPy / and related packages. The one that brings it all together, visually, is IPython (now known as Project Jupyter). That's the topic on episode 44 of Talk Python To Me.

You'll learn about "the big split", the plans for the recent $6 million in funding, Jupyter at CERN and the LHC and more with Min RK & Matthias Bussonnier.
