Revolutionizing Data Science Package Management with conda

Manage Your Data Science Packages, Dependencies & Environments Through the Power of conda
Travis Oliphant, President, Chief Data Scientist & Co-Founder, creator of NumPy and author of Guide to NumPy: 2nd Edition, discusses how Anaconda solved one of the most headache-inducing problems in data science—overcoming the package dependency nightmare—through the power of conda.

Powering Anaconda Distribution at its core, conda is a cross-platform package and environment manager that helps data scientists easily manage their project dependencies and share environments with their peers.
In this webinar, Travis and conda Tech Lead Kale Franz demonstrate:
  • Why conda is the package manager loved by data scientists
  • Why conda is trusted by enterprises to manage their data science environments
  • How conda complements other packaging solutions, such as pip & Docker
  • How conda serves as a flexible packaging solution for your custom in-house needs
  • How conda simplifies data science software packaging and deployments
