Talk Python to Me: #493: Quarto: Open-source technical publishing

In this episode, I'm joined by JJ Allaire, founder and executive chairman at Posit, and Carlos Scheidegger, a software engineer at Posit, to explore Quarto, an open-source tool revolutionizing technical publishing. We discuss how Quarto empowers users to seamlessly transform Jupyter notebooks into polished reports, dashboards, e-books, websites, and more. JJ shares his journey from creating RStudio to developing Quarto as a versatile, multi-language tool, while Carlos delves into its roots in reproducibility and the challenges of academic publishing. Don't miss this deep dive into a tool that's shaping the future of data-driven storytelling!<br/> <br/> <strong>Episode sponsors</strong><br/> <br/> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/training'>Talk Python Courses</a><br> <a href='https://talkpython.fm/digitalocean-partner'>DigitalOcean</a><br/> <br/> <h2>Links from the show</h2> <div><strong>JJ Allaire</strong><br/> <strong>JJ on LinkedIn</strong>: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jjallaire/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >linkedin.com</a><br/> <strong>JJ on GitHub</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/jjallaire?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com</a><br/> <br/> <strong>Carlos Scheidegger</strong><br/> <strong>Personal site</strong>: <a href="https://cscheid.net?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >cscheid.net</a><br/> <strong>Mastodon</strong>: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@scheidegger?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >@scheidegger</a><br/> <br/> <strong>Fast AI</strong>: <a href="https://fast.ai?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >fast.ai</a><br/> <strong>nbdev</strong>: <a href="https://nbdev.fast.ai/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >nbdev.fast.ai</a><br/> <strong>nbsanity - Share Notebooks as Polished Web Pages in Seconds</strong>: <a href="https://www.answer.ai/posts/2024-12-13-nbsanity.html?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >answer.ai</a><br/> <strong>Pandoc</strong>: <a href="https://pandoc.org/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >pandoc.org</a><br/> <strong>Observable</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/observablehq/framework?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com</a><br/> <strong>Quarto Pub</strong>: <a href="https://quartopub.com/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >quartopub.com</a><br/> <strong>Deno</strong>: <a href="https://deno.com/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >deno.com</a><br/> <strong>Real World Data Science site</strong>: <a href="https://realworlddatascience.net/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >realworlddatascience.net</a><br/> <strong>Typst</strong>: <a href="https://typst.app/?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >typst.app</a><br/> <strong>Github Actions for Quarto</strong>: <a href="https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-actions?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >github.com</a><br/> <strong>Watch this episode on YouTube</strong>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXkwy8dzCrA" target="_blank" >youtube.com</a><br/> <strong>Episode transcripts</strong>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/episodes/transcript/493/quarto-open-source-technical-publishing" target="_blank" >talkpython.fm</a><br/> <br/> <strong>--- Stay in touch with us ---</strong><br/> <strong>Subscribe to Talk Python on YouTube</strong>: <a href="https://talkpython.fm/youtube" target="_blank" >youtube.com</a><br/> <strong>Talk Python on Bluesky</strong>: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/talkpython.fm" target="_blank" >@talkpython.fm at bsky.app</a><br/> <strong>Talk Python on Mastodon</strong>: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/web/@talkpython" target="_blank" ><i class="fa-brands fa-mastodon"></i>talkpython</a><br/> <strong>Michael on Bluesky</strong>: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mkennedy.codes?featured_on=talkpython" target="_blank" >@mkennedy.codes at bsky.app</a><br/> <strong>Michael on Mastodon</strong>: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/web/@mkennedy" target="_blank" ><i class="fa-brands fa-mastodon"></i>mkennedy</a><br/></div>
