Jupyter Widgets Training Overview
This Jupyter Widgets training course teaches Python and JavaScript/TypeScript developers how to extend Jupyter Labs/Notebooks using customized widgets. Attendees learn high-level concepts of creating and running custom widgets. Then the course dives into low-level concepts and features that power widgets and how to employ those concepts and features to create new widgets. This Jupyter Widgets class can be taught with JavaScript or TypeScript.

Prerequisites
Python and JavaScript programming experience. Experience with Backbone.js, jQuery, and the web browser DOM API is strongly recommended.

Software Requirements
- A modern web browser like Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. Internet Explorer is not supported.
- Visual Studio Code with the Python Extension
- For classes delivered online, all participants need either dual monitors or a separate device logged into the online session to do their work on one screen and watch the instructor on the other. A separate computer connected to a projector or large-screen TV would be another way for students to see the instructor's screen simultaneously with working on their own.
