Using Notebooks for Documentation

Notebooks are often used as a tool for communicating information about data through visualizations and code. Could they also be used to help document how APIs work through example? In this talk we’ll walk through the basics of notebooks and see how the D3 project is using them in their documentation.

Our speaker: John Haldeman is an information security architect. In his spare time he likes to present and write tutorials on technical topics, particularly data visualization, for Windsor’s Hackforge and other local groups.
