At the workshop we gave the talk like this:

  • We opened a Python shell on the projector monitor and an IPython notebook on the laptop monitor
  • One person read the notebook and typed into the Python shell
  • Another person stood in front of the audience and explained each step
  • Questions were answered ad-hoc, occasionally by Googling answers or typing at the terminal
