Talks

Some talks and presentations, in reverse chronological order:

The state of IPython
August 2009, a short update on the project, delivered as a lightning talk at the SciPy‘09 conference.
Data Arrays: Name that axis!
August 2009, a short talk about an idea I am working on, to add named axis support to NumPy nd-arrays (another SciPy‘09 lightning talk). The code for this project is available on github.
