Fernando Pérez, So Awesome.
Fernando, a native of Colombia, was trained as a physicist and mathematician and is currently employed as a neuroscience researcher at UC Berkeley. He is one of the most thoughtful, generous, and caring people I know and an absolute pleasure to work with. Too often the genius behind the tools that make our lives more productive goes unrecognized. Fernando Pérez, with his unwavering passion and talents, is the visionary that has built this remarkable edifice on which the new titans of science will stand. He is so deserved of this award.

escribió:IPython notebook is actually one of the most interesting developments not just in the python world, but in computing generally. It's the first step towards the fully graphical shell on the internet that many of us have been looking for, whether or not we realize it.
Being able to weave together text|markdown, tabular data (in almost any format you want) and images ( whether from matplotlib, raw captures, or synthetic assemblies ) in one environment is very powerful.
I suspect that with some additional tools IPython notebook will become the integrators workbench par excellence, useful in many contexts.

The IPython Notebook (or 'ipynb' for short) is one of the most exciting technologies for teaching and research that I've seen in recent years. It is a completely open source, well architected, and fairly stable system for scientific computing and data exploration.
one of the other major challenges for teaching beginning programmers in university courses is choosing a development environment that introduces as little additional cognitive load as possible. Based on Ethan's experiences this year he is planning on transitioning his introductory course from having students work in an Integrated Development Environment to having them work exclusively in Notebooks. Even in a simple IDE there is always substantial confusion about the differences between how the interactive prompt works and how it differs from code run from the editor. By switching to Notebooks the students will experience the benefits of both (as described above) without the additional load of trying to understand two different environments for running Python code.
