Chris Holdgraf
Chris is the Executive Director of 2i2c. He is on the Jupyter Executive Council as well as the Jupyter Foundation Board. He has been a co-lead of several projects within the Jupyter ecosystem for over ten years (particularly the JupyterHub and Binder projects, as well as the Jupyter Book project), with a focus on how infrastructure can support interactive computing workflows in research and education. He’s interested in the boundary between technology, open-source software, and research and education workflows, as well as how open communities can support and extend these workflows in a way that makes science more impactful and inclusive. He was previously a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley, and a Community Architect with the Division of Data Science at Berkeley. His background is in cognitive and computational neuroscience, where he used predictive models to understand the auditory system in the human brain.
Sessions
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.
