Pluto Notebooks Competition - Cash Prizes: JuliaHub is hosting a competition to highlight the best examples of Pluto notebooks being used in industry. Click here for more information and to submit. The submission deadline is August 1. Notebooks will be judged based on 3 criteria:
  1. Subject Matter: Does it solve an interesting problem?
  2. Presentation: How interactive is it and what kind of output visualization does it include?
  3. Package Usage: How well does it use Julia package(s) / JuliaHub?
Notebooks that discuss an interesting problem and how it was solved are preferred, as opposed to purely instructional notebooks. The prizes are:
  • 1st Prize winner gets: $500 Cash + $500 Hours worth of free compute on JuliaHub
  • 2nd Prize winner gets: $300 Cash + $300 Hours worth of free compute on JuliaHub
  • 3rd Prize winner gets: $150 Cash + $150 Hours worth of free compute on JuliaHub
Free Compute on JuliaHub (20 hours): In addition to the features JuliaHub has always offered for free – Julia ecosystem search, package registration tools, a dedicated package server – the platform now also gives every user 20 hours of free compute. This allows people to seamlessly share Pluto notebooks and IDE projects with others and let them get their feet wet with computing without having to open up their wallets. Click here to get started or check out Deep Datta’s introductory video, “ JuliaHub Is a Free Platform to Start Your Technical Computing Journey”, where he explains how and why to start using JuliaHub for cloud computing.
