Jupyter Book allows researchers and educators to create books and knowledge bases that are reusable, reproducible, and interactive. Jupyter Book 2 has been rebuilt on a new document engine that prioritizes extensibility, machine readability and flexible deployment, allowing us to create and share interactive computational content in new ways. In this talk, we will introduce Jupyter Book 2.0, demonstrate its game changing features, and showcase real-world examples like The Turing Way, QuantEcon and Project Pythia. We'll conclude with a live demo, taking a folder of notebooks and markdown files and turning them into a deployable, feature-rich website.
2i2c is a non-profit whose mission it is to empower communities to build their own digital hub for creating and sharing knowledge. We believe that co-creation is science’s super power, and use open tools like JupyterHub and Jupyter Book to create standardized and portable user workflows that scale to many communities. 2i2c positions itself at the intersection of open source and open science, and this poster explores the impact that this has upon our global network of communities and the software that they use.
