In mid-October, I attended Startupifier Bootcamp, an event run by local students and entrepreneurs to encourage innovation and help people meet others with similar interests. I worked on a team of three with Simon Mathieu (@smathieu) and Maxime Boucher, and our together we built PyAlpha, a simple web based terminal that provides access to a python terminal and the advanced functionality of NumPy and SciPy. The goal was to build an online alternative to MatLab or Python, to help anyone who potentially lacks the skills or resources to set them up a their own.
