In a distance learning situation it is also important to have a development environment that is easy to explain and use, and that integrates well with the variety of course material used (slides, homework, etc). In this talk, we present codeBoot, an online programming environment which allows for fine-grained single-stepping of Python code directly in the browser.

In this talk, we present codeBoot, an online programming environment which allows for fine-grained single-stepping of Python code directly in the browser. OBJECTIVE: We present codeBoot and how we implemented fine-grained code single-stepping in the browser AUDIENCE: Teachers, Pythonists --- SPEAKER - Olivier Melançon M.Sc. student @ UdeM Olivier is a full stack developer, computer science college teacher and final year M.Sc student at the dynamic language research lab of Université de Montréal with Prof. Marc Feeley. He is specializing in compiler design for dynamic languages and the development of tools for teaching coding. --- Lambda Days Website: https://www.lambdadays.org​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/LambdaDays​
