These tools facilitate sharing of code in multiple languages and are wonderful resources for demonstrating programming concepts when teaching a course.</p> <h1 id="binder"><strong>Binder</strong></h1> <p>The first tool is called Binder, is open-source and was released in 2017. It is awesome because it allows data scientists to share their work in Python , R or Julia in a reproducible manner. Binder can be configured for Python (Anaconda or pip environment) and R (using RStudio and/or Shiny). Multiple user interfaces can be specified. For example, for Python we can use a terminal or Jupyter notebook in the repo.</p>
