“The Knowledge” vs the GPS
4
Here’s How Hard It Is to Gain “The Knowledge”
“The examination to
become a London cabby
is possibly the most
difficult test in the world
— demanding years of
study to memorize the
labyrinthine city’s 25,000
streets and any business
or landmark on them.”
The New York Times,
November 10, 2014
5
Was the answer better training?
6
Knowledge is embedded in the interface
7
Drivers learn the city by driving it
8
Learning in the course of work
9
I learned this trick by following a video
But after doing it
a few times, I
don’t need the
video any
more.
10
The Internet is a great resource for simple skills
like tying knots, or trying out new recipes
11
Or even refreshing yourself on a bit of math or
physics you’ve forgotten
12
How does this all apply to IT learning?
13
There are prerequisites even for Uber
Knowing how to drive
Knowing how to use a smartphone app
Knowing how to read a map
Good communication skills
Good work habits
Basic business skills
14
They are far greater for software development
Use a computer effectively
Have a logical problem-solving mindset
Know the programming language – it’s not always your choice
Know specific environments – the web, iPhone or Android,
Windows, AWS or Azure
Know how to use the latest developer tools
Have UI-design sensibility
Know where to find specialized code libraries and how to use
them
…
15
“Structural literacy” – knowing enough to
learn more in the flow of work
16
Software boot camps everywhere
17
But developers constantly need new skills
18
Linear learning:
Curated content to learn something new
On demand learning:
Answers to help you do your work

But what about when you’re searching for
answers?
28
Linear v. Non-Learning Behavior
on the O’Reilly Platform
Non-linear
42%
Linear
58%
29
Search-driven non-linear learning is one kind of
learning in the flow of work…
but there are opportunities to go deeper, with
environments that support safe experimentation
30
What happened when Richard Feynman was
asked to critique an elementary physics textbook
"I stuck my finger in, and I started to read: “Triboluminescence.
Triboluminescence is the light emitted when crystals are
crushed…” I said, “And there, have you got science? No! You
have only told what a word means in terms of other words. You
haven’t told anything about nature—what crystals produce light
when you crush them, why they produce light. Did you see any
student go home and try it? He can’t. “But if, instead, you were
to write, ‘When you take a lump of sugar and crush it with a
pair of pliers in the dark, you can see a bluish flash. Some
other crystals do that too. Nobody knows why. The
phenomenon is called “triboluminescence.” ’ Then someone
will go home and try it. Then there’s an experience of nature.”
31
Jupyter Notebooks
• Open Source tool for
“narrated computations”
• Created by Fernando
Perez and Brian
Granger
• 2-3 million users
http://jupyter.org
32
A Who’s-Who of top companies and universities
33
Not just a learning tool, a working tool
https://www.kaggle.com/surveys/2017
A Kaggle survey
of ~8,000 data
scientists
identified Jupyter
as the 4th most
used data science
tool for work.
34
“Narrated computation”
35
“An Active Learning Experience
That Works”
- Lorena Barba
GWU
“My experience with Jupyter notebooks is that
students engage with the material in an
almost tactile way. Manipulating a piece of
code, experimenting with parameters in a
problem, then reflecting and discussing the
output makes for an active learning
experience that works. The best results occur
when students start creating their own
notebooks....”
Lorena Barba
George Washington University
36
Jupyter on the O’Reilly Platform
Jupyter-enabled
• Live trainings
• Books
• Video (Oriole)
37
An executable, explorable explanation
38
Interfaces that teach
39
Executable task-specific documentation is the
infrastructure of specialized on-demand learning

Triboluminescence is the light emitted when crystals are crushed…” I said, “And there, have you got science? No! You have only told what a word means in terms of other words. You haven’t told anything about nature—what crystals produce light when you crush them, why they produce light. Did you see any student go home and try it? He can’t. “But if, instead, you were to write, ‘When you take a lump of sugar and crush it with a pair of pliers in the dark, you can see a bluish flash. Some other crystals do that too. Nobody knows why. The phenomenon is called “triboluminescence.” ’ Then someone will go home and try it. Then there’s an experience of nature.”
