Live coding
Want to get deeper into some actual coding—no slides allowed? Then this track is for you. From minute one, these sessions are actual coding best practices and new ways of getting the most out of languages like Python, R, Java, and C#. Attendees will use Jupyter Notebook, complete with runnable coding examples, to follow along and have a takeaway. Be prepared to cast off the crutch of slides and get your hands dirty coding…mistakes included.
