Cloud Development Environments for Financial Institutions
This video discusses our solution to a Coding Development Environment as they are now popularly called. This solution is intended specifically for financial institutions and a non-technologist coding within a financial institution. This information is also suitable for private use.
*CONTEXT*
Executing Python code requires software that is not installed on your computer by default. The Python interpreter is essential, and it is also useful to have a good interactive development environment – an “IDE” – which provides you with a more convenient place to code. There are many solutions to this problem, but ever since PyFi started teaching Python in 2018, we have advised students to install the Anaconda Distribution (which contains the Python interpreter, an assortment of popular IDEs, and other related software).
Although this has been a good solution for private individuals, it has not been ideal for corporate clients. Because of cybersecurity concerns, large financial institutions restrict employees’ ability to install new software on their machines. When I have taught at such institutions in the past, installing the Anaconda Distribution required special assistance from IT, and even with that assistance, many of our students still encountered problems.
