[IPython-dev] Developing a MOOC with IPython notebooks

[Andrew Odewahn]

Hi, Anton.  I've been working on something along a similar line: running a
Notebook kernel in a Docker container via tmpnb and then connecting to it
via a widget.  This presentation has some of the details:

Like Cyrille Rossant's work, it's still very experimental, but I've been
pleased with the results so far.  The biggest issues have been around
getting it running for version 2 of the Notebook (currently it only works
for version 1) and getting the CORS headers set up for tmpnb.

ps -- here are a few examples of the output.  (It only works in Chrome
right now due to the CORS issues):
