0:00 why do you never serve beer at a math
0:03 party cuz he can't drink and derive hey
0:14 everyone Jordan here and I am really
0:16 excited to introduce you to PI now what
0:20 is pi it's not what we eat right we're
0:22 talking about math here people now PI
0:25 allows us to do intelligent calculations
0:30 on our website based on form inputs so
0:33 users can type in data into a form or
0:35 use some sliders and date fields and
0:38 other cool stuff and basically PI is the
0:40 brains that can then take that data do
0:43 what we want with it and then I can do
0:45 various things on it right it can it can
0:47 output data to up to the to the page it
0:50 can update other form fields and you can
0:53 even apply CSS to the actual page so we
0:57 can actually modify the style of the
0:58 page based on the user's input it's
1:02 pretty cool now we have a ton of really
1:05 great demos on the product page to show
1:07 you the power of what PI can do for you
1:09 as you see as the user can update form
1:13 fields pi can actually change the
1:15 calculations and display the data that
1:18 we need in demo 1 here were actually
1:21 taking the number of pixels and
1:22 converting that to what that is inside
1:24 REM and pi also works with sliders as
1:28 you see as I change the slider data all
1:31 the data dynamically updates on the page
1:34 instantly now as I said earlier we can
1:37 actually use pi to manipulate the styles
1:40 of the actual content on the page
1:43 dynamically
1:47 now the power of Pi comes when we can
1:49 actually use it for real-world
1:50 situations such as this demo where we
1:53 can take the actual dimensions of a room
1:55 and categorizations of our paint and
1:58 determine how many cans of paint we need
2:00 to paint a room you can even use PI to
2:05 display entire pricing packages straight
2:08 on your website so users can build their
2:11 custom package and see exactly how much
2:14 it's gonna cost we can use PI to do
2:17 dates
2:17 so we can actually calculate the
2:19 difference between multiple dates so we
2:21 can see the days hours seconds or
2:24 whatever directly between them on the
2:27 webpage you can also use PI to calculate
2:29 a monthly loan payment just simply put
2:31 in your loan amount the rate and how
2:34 long your loan is for and PI will tell
2:36 you exactly what your monthly payment
2:38 will be as you see those are just a few
2:41 of the unlimited examples of things that
2:43 you can do with PI if you can come up
2:46 with a mathematical formula pi can
2:48 handle it it comes with the actual power
2:51 of JavaScript and built in there's no
2:54 multiple steps you just type in the
2:56 actual equation that you need and PI
2:59 will handle it beautifully it couldn't
3:01 be easier to use now PI works with all
3:04 third-party form stacks it doesn't come
3:06 with its own form inputs you have to use
3:09 it with your favorite form stack it
3:11 works with foundation forms forms plus
3:14 form snap and it should work with any
3:16 other form stack that you have now you
3:19 can use PI for more than just adding an
3:22 updating content to the webpage you can
3:25 use it to augment your form data so that
3:27 that calculation is sent to your emails
3:30 updated to your databases or whatever
3:32 else you use forms for I'm confident
3:36 that PI is gonna be the only
3:38 mathematical and formula stack that
3:40 you're gonna need to accomplish what you
3:42 want for your websites I hope you enjoy
3:45 I can't wait to see
3:46 and we'll see you Weaver space
3:51 you
3:56 okay so if you have seven apples in one
3:59 hand and five apples in the other hand
4:02 what do you have really big hands
4:10 [Laughter]"}]
