Site content includes the first widgets tutorial she gave at SciPy 2023.
Session
Interactive widgets were introduced to the Jupyter ecosystem over 10 years ago. A number of progressively more powerful interactive widget packages have been developed since then, supporting the construction of sophisticated dashboards and interactives. This tutorial will describe a number of approaches to developing and managing complex web apps that are compatible with Jupyter widgets and promote scalable application development.
