Stephen Wolfram on the Background and Vision of Mathematica »

with Stephen Wolfram

Wolfram founder Stephen Wolfram shares the background and vision of Mathematica, including the personal story of how it came to be and why it's in the right place to make profoundly powerful new things possible.

Developing Enterprise-Class Web Applications »

with Yu-Sung Chang

This course chronicles Wolfram Research's two internal projects: a massive, real-time network traffic visualization and an advertisement dashboard system for Wolfram|Alpha. From planning to deployment, both projects were completed by only using Mathematica in a relatively short period of time. This real-world, scenario-driven course addresses topics that are applicable to many enterprise-wide projects: large database access (SQL and HBase), kernel as a background service, dynamic visualization with no interruption, and deploying a complex web interface through Computable Document Format (CDF) technology.

Authoring and Deploying Content in the New Computable Document Format »

with Jon McLoone

Computable Document Format (CDF) puts easy-to-author interactivity at its core. This presentation will show you the entire process for creating and sharing interactive content. It will include a simple walk-through of content formatting, style control, knowledge app authoring, and embedding live content into web pages. We will also showcase example uses from textbooks and journal articles to consulting and management reports.
