00:00 why do you never serve beer at a math
00:03 party cuz he can't drink and derive hey
00:14 everyone Jordan here and I am really
00:16 excited to introduce you to PI now what
00:20 is pi it's not what we eat right we're
00:22 talking about math here people now PI
00:25 allows us to do intelligent calculations
00:30 on our website based on form inputs so
00:33 users can type in data into a form or
00:35 use some sliders and date fields and
00:38 other cool stuff and basically PI is the
00:40 brains that can then take that data do
00:43 what we want with it and then I can do
00:45 various things on it right it can it can
00:47 output data to up to the to the page it
00:50 can update other form fields and you can
00:53 even apply CSS to the actual page so we
00:57 can actually modify the style of the
00:58 page based on the user's input it's
01:02 pretty cool now we have a ton of really
01:05 great demos on the product page to show
01:07 you the power of what PI can do for you
01:09 as you see as the user can update form
01:13 fields pi can actually change the
01:15 calculations and display the data that
01:18 we need in demo 1 here were actually
01:21 taking the number of pixels and
01:22 converting that to what that is inside
01:24 REM and pi also works with sliders as
01:28 you see as I change the slider data all
01:31 the data dynamically updates on the page
01:34 instantly now as I said earlier we can
01:37 actually use pi to manipulate the styles
01:40 of the actual content on the page
01:43 dynamically
01:47 now the power of Pi comes when we can
01:49 actually use it for real-world
01:50 situations such as this demo where we
01:53 can take the actual dimensions of a room
01:55 and categorizations of our paint and
01:58 determine how many cans of paint we need
02:00 to paint a room you can even use PI to
02:05 display entire pricing packages straight
02:08 on your website so users can build their
02:11 custom package and see exactly how much
02:14 it's gonna cost we can use PI to do
02:17 dates
02:17 so we can actually calculate the
02:19 difference between multiple dates so we
02:21 can see the days hours seconds or
02:24 whatever directly between them on the
02:27 webpage you can also use PI to calculate
02:29 a monthly loan payment just simply put
02:31 in your loan amount the rate and how
02:34 long your loan is for and PI will tell
02:36 you exactly what your monthly payment
02:38 will be as you see those are just a few
02:41 of the unlimited examples of things that
02:43 you can do with PI if you can come up
02:46 with a mathematical formula pi can
02:48 handle it it comes with the actual power
02:51 of JavaScript and built in there's no
02:54 multiple steps you just type in the
02:56 actual equation that you need and PI
02:59 will handle it beautifully it couldn't
03:01 be easier to use now PI works with all
03:04 third-party form stacks it doesn't come
03:06 with its own form inputs you have to use
03:09 it with your favorite form stack it
03:11 works with foundation forms forms plus
03:14 form snap and it should work with any
03:16 other form stack that you have now you
03:19 can use PI for more than just adding an
03:22 updating content to the webpage you can
03:25 use it to augment your form data so that
03:27 that calculation is sent to your emails
03:30 updated to your databases or whatever
03:32 else you use forms for I'm confident
03:36 that PI is gonna be the only
03:38 mathematical and formula stack that
03:40 you're gonna need to accomplish what you
03:42 want for your websites I hope you enjoy
03:45 I can't wait to see
03:46 and we'll see you Weaver space
03:51 you
03:56 okay so if you have seven apples in one
03:59 hand and five apples in the other hand
04:02 what do you have really big hands
