Executable books

(See central discussion in How can we develop transformative tools for thought; subsection “Executable books”) ==TODO==

• Some media which gesture in this direction:

  • GitHub - norvig/pytudes: Python programs, usually short, of considerable difficulty, to perfect particular skills.
  • Observable – Use data to think, together. / Observable
  • Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics
  • Stripe payments integration builder

• A gallery of interesting Jupyter Notebooks · jupyter/jupyter Wiki · GitHub

• Executable books emphasize understanding pre-existing code, not writing new code

Context notes

Jeremy of Climate Plan has been working on some public climate projection notebooks which might make an interesting context for experimenting here. (2021-08-04)
