A JS developer tries python, escapes from Jupyter to build a product

Description

Jupyter notebooks are great to prototype ideas, but aren’t shippable product (to real users). To bridge the gap between this (a notebook) and a successful product, you must own the user experience and work with product design and feature planning. Sometimes you must go on an adventure back to being a junior, get some new tech off the shelf and work your way back to familiar territory. Learn how a JS developer with limited python experience worked through tooling and workflow planning choices to iterate to victory. See how you can use python to work closely with product/UI designers to shape a reproducible product workflow and solve a user problem. Ideal audience: People with any level of python experience who want to see how it can fit into the wider picture of product development in the trenches of a startup.
