March 2024: Streamlit data apps

If you’d like to make a good-looking, modern data data-based application, you’ll need to learn HTML5, CSS, Javascript, and a backend server language. Ugh, that sounds hard.

So let’s not! Let’s try Streamlit instead. It’s a Python package that makes data web apps addictively easy to build with just a few lines of Python; you can skip practically all the hard work of building web front-ends.

Meeting notes

Location: Innovation Hub

We meet in the Innovation Hub, a gorgeous new facility that’s part of the renovated Dayton Arcade complex.
Enter through the doors that face the Wright Stop Plaza bus hub.

Street parking is free in the evening. I usually park on Ludlow Street.

if for any reason coming downtown doesn’t work for you (for instance, you’ve been exposed to COVID, or you’ve converted yourself to purely digital format and now exist as a set of cloud-hosted algorithms), we’ll be online as well!
