This is the deck I used for my talk at PyData NYC 2023
Short Abstract:
As web developers, we create large quantities of data (e.g., from test reports and analytics) that require insights for iterative optimization. But how does a JavaScript developer begin their journey into data science? Enter GitHub Codespaces, GitHub Copilot and Open AI. In this talk, I'll share my journey into creating a consistent development and runtime environment with GitHub Codespaces and Jupyter Notebooks, then activating it with Open AI to support an interactive "learn by exploring" process that helped me (as a JavaScript developer) skill up on Python and data analysis techniques in actionable ways. I'll walk through a couple of motivating use cases, and demonstrate some projects related to competitive programming and data visualization to showcase these insights in action.
