By Tiezheng Li PyData New York City 2017 BeakerX is a collection of kernels and extensions to Jupyter. It has: 1) extensive JVM kernel support 2) interactive widgets for plots, tables, and forms (with Java, Python, and JS APIs), 3) autotranslation for polyglot programming 4) One-click publication and 5) a data browser with drag-and-drop. We will demo BeakerX and discuss its history and relationship to its predecessor the Beaker Not
